Protorq Extreme: the ultimate sporty road tyre

Eurogrip presents the Protorq Extreme, a high-performance sporty road tyre, designed for riders who demand precision, grip and durability. Fully street-legal yet engineered for exhilarating riding, it is tailored for small and medium displacement motorcycles, combining cutting-edge technology with an aggressive tread pattern for both style and function.

Engineered for precision and performance

The Protorq Extreme is built to meet the demands of riders who crave agility, superior grip and continuous feedback from their tyres. A fusion of advanced materials and innovative design principles ensures optimal performance across various road conditions:

  • Radial Structure with 0° Steel Belt: This technology maintains the tyre’s profile integrity even under high speeds, rapid acceleration, and sudden braking. The result? Minimized self-righting effect, reduced heat buildup, lower vibrations, and enhanced stability and trajectory precision.
  • Variable steepness contour: A meticulously engineered profile ensures an optimized contact patch at different lean angles, providing seamless transitions between upright riding, mid-lean, and deep cornering.
  • Adaptive tread design: With a dynamically adjusted land/sea ratio, the tyre delivers maximum rubber contact for superior grip during braking and acceleration, while additional grooves on the shoulders promote efficient water dispersal and even compound wear.
  • High-Performance compound: The employment of High Structure Carbon fillers offers a perfect mix of grip and durability, ensuring a wide optimal operating temperature range. Advanced chemical bonding and a refined curing process contribute to superior consistency and longevity.

Developed with expertise, proven on the road

Behind the Protorq Extreme is an extensive research and development process, where Eurogrip’s Italian and Indian R&D teams collaborated to engineer a tyre that meets the highest standards of performance and quality. With continued prototypes fine tuning — on compounds and raw material, structural parameters, profile and tread design, the tyre was rigorously tested on both circuits and open roads by independent testers and professional racers.

A seal of approval from Aprilia

The true mark of success? Aprilia’s trust. The Protorq Extreme was chosen as the original equipment (OE) tyre for the stunning RS 457 and Tuono 457, surpassing competitors from established global brands. This partnership highlights the tyre’s exceptional capabilities, making it a top choice for riders who refuse to compromise on performance.

Whether enjoying a fast-paced ride on the road or confidently taking on the track, the Protorq Extreme sets a new benchmark in the segment, delivering the perfect synergy of sportiness, precision and durability.
