Eurogrip are no strangers to dual-purpose tyres and the Trailhounds are their best yet

- Joshua Varghese

FOLLOWING AN ON-road experience with the Duratrail and Terrabite range of tyres almost a year ago, we had been looking forward to Eurogrip's premium range of dual-purpose tyres. They are finally here. The product range is called Trailhound and it is available in two variants: SCR and STR. The former is for retro-modern roadsters and scramblers while the latter caters to medium and large ADVs.

Eurogrip rate the SCRs as an 80 per cent road and 20 per cent off-road tyre while the STRs are 90:10 in the same ratio. However, this time they only had the SCRs available for us to test and we sampled them on a few motorcycles, including the second-gen KTM 390 Adventure, the Suzuki V-Strom SX, and the Royal Enfield Scram 411.
