At India Bike Week 2025, one of the country’s most celebrated motorcycling festivals, Gulf Oil Lubricants India unveiled its latest premium offering — the Gulf Syntrac fully synthetic engine oil range, developed specifically for modern performance motorcycles and demanding riding styles.
The Syntrac range represents an important addition to Gulf Oil’s motorcycle lubrication lineup, reflecting the brand’s response to the changing expectations of today’s riders. As motorcycle usage expands beyond daily commuting to include touring, leisure riding, and performance-oriented use, lubricant brands are increasingly aligning their products with modern riding lifestyles rather than focusing only on basic engine maintenance.
Focused on the Performance-Oriented Motorcycle Segment
With Syntrac, Gulf Oil is clearly addressing the performance and premium motorcycle category, a segment that continues to grow in India alongside rising interest in higher-capacity motorcycles. The range has been positioned to cater to a broad spectrum of riders, including urban commuters who ride daily as well as enthusiasts who spend extended hours on highways or weekend rides.
The availability of multiple variants allows riders across different motorcycle classes to consider the Syntrac range, reinforcing its adaptability across diverse riding habits and engine types without narrowing its appeal to a single niche.
Aligned with Modern Riding Trends
Motorcycling in India is evolving rapidly, with more riders embracing long-distance touring, weekend rides, and mixed-use riding conditions. In this context, engine oils are increasingly viewed as part of overall riding confidence and ownership experience. The Syntrac range reflects this shift by being positioned as a solution for riders who expect consistency and reliability across varied environments, including city traffic, highways, and changing weather conditions.
Rather than focusing solely on mechanical requirements, the range aligns itself with the broader expectations of modern riders — ease of ownership, dependable performance, and compatibility with contemporary motorcycle designs.
The debut of Syntrac at India Bike Week, a platform closely associated with motorcycle culture and enthusiast communities, underlines Gulf Oil’s intent to strengthen its presence in the premium motorcycle lubricant market. The launch signals a strategic move to connect with riders who actively engage with biking events, communities, and lifestyle-driven motorcycling.
Through the Syntrac range, Gulf Oil aims to reinforce its image as a brand that evolves alongside the motorcycle ecosystem, offering products that match the aspirations of today’s riders.
Overall, the Gulf Syntrac range positions itself as a contemporary addition to the motorcycle lubricant space — designed to complement modern riding patterns and support Gulf Oil’s expanding footprint in the performance-oriented two-wheeler segment.
