The introduction of Gulf Syntrac underscores the company’s sharpened focus on the growing premium and high-performance motorcycle segment. Compliant with API SP standards, the ester-technology-driven synthetic oil range has been engineered to deliver superior protection and performance under demanding conditions such as high temperatures, high RPMs and heavy loads. The range is available in multiple viscosity grades, including 10W-30, 10W-40, 10W-50, 15W-50 and 20W-50, making it suitable for riders who undertake aggressive riding, highway touring and frequent high-speed runs.

Within Gulf’s two-wheeler portfolio in India, Syntrac sits above the Gulf Pride range and represents a strategic expansion of the company’s premium synthetic offerings. It positions Syntrac as the flagship line for high-performance motorcycles, catering to enthusiasts seeking advanced engine protection and consistent performance.

India Bike Week 2025 provided Gulf with a platform to engage directly with India’s motorcycling community and showcase its performance-led lubricant portfolio. Highlights at the brand pavilion included live stunt performances by Polaris and the first-ever India showcase of the Gulf Trackhouse Racing Team’s MotoGP bike in Gulf livery, reinforcing the company’s long-standing association with global motorsports and its belief in racing as a testbed for innovation.

Commenting on the launch, Mr Ravi Chawla, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Gulf Oil Lubricants India Limited, said India Bike Week is a celebration of motorcycling culture and that the third consecutive partnership with the event reflects Gulf’s strong connection with the riding community. He added that the launch of Gulf Syntrac represents the company’s commitment to delivering high-performance, fully synthetic solutions inspired by motorsports and designed for passionate riders.

As part of its presence at IBW 2025, Gulf also strengthened its engagement with the riding ecosystem through initiatives such as the Product Display Zone, the Bike Service Stop and the Gulf Club Lounge, reinforcing its long-term commitment to India’s motorcycling fraternity.
