Gumande Tires debuts new era of motorcycle performance at Makina Moto Expo
A new player in the motorcycle tire industry has formally entered the Philippine market with the launch of Gumande Tires, unveiling its brand at the Makina Moto Expo 2026. Positioned as a premium contender, the company is banking on engineering precision, durability, and everyday rider confidence to carve its place in a highly competitive segment.
Anchored on the promise “Kapit sa lahat ng daan,” Gumande Tires introduced itself not just as a product line, but as a brand built around reliability across varied riding conditions in the country.
Gumande Tires reinforces this commitment with a full lineup engineered for modern riding demands. The LT01 serves as its everyday tire, offering consistent grip, durability, and comfort for daily commuters. For riders seeking a more aggressive feel, the LT02 provides enhanced cornering stability and improved control for spirited street riding.
Expanding into the performance segment, the LY02 is built for 17-inch applications and uses a softer compound designed to maximize road contact and deliver stronger grip under high-demand conditions. For smaller-displacement motorcycles, the GT01 is offered across 10-, 12-, 13-, and 14-inch sizes, ensuring grip and stability are maintained regardless of wheel size.
At the top end of the range is the GTRS Racing Series, developed for high-performance and competitive use where precision, traction, and speed are critical. Gumande describes it as the clearest expression of its push toward peak performance.
According to the company, the entire lineup is developed using globally sourced materials and engineered to perform across diverse riding conditions, from daily commutes to track-level demands.
“At Gumande, we are not merely introducing a product, we are establishing a brand defined by direction, structure, and a profound long-term commitment to the Philippine market,” said Miller Chua during the launch. “We believe that true performance must be reliable, and that our growth is inseparable from the success of our partners.”
The brand is also strengthening its dealer ecosystem through nationwide roadshows, marketing support programs, and structured incentives, alongside plans for an exclusive factory and cultural tour in China for qualified partners in December 2026.
Gumande’s Makina Moto Expo 2026 showcase features its full lineup, technical presentations, and rider-focused activities, along with promotional offerings for visitors and trade partners.
With backing from moto vloggers, commuters, stunt riders, and racing teams, Gumande is positioning itself as a serious long-term contender in the local tire market.
This is Gumande Tires—Kapit sa lahat ng daan. Kampante sa bawat biyahe.
