Putting the Sport in Sport-touring
Bike India|August 2023
One pair of Roadhound tyres to test in real-life conditions, a trip to the racetrack to experience its sporty side, and a conducted tour of the plant. Clearly, TVS Eurogrip are extremely confident about their product

Putting the Sport in Sport-touring

DURING OUR INTERACTION AT THEIR manufacturing plant near Madurai in Tamil Nadu, representatives from TVS Eurogrip made one thing quite clear: they manufacture world-class tyres. On that note, we were ushered out for a plant tour where we learned the intricacies of how a simple sheet of rubber gets transformed into a loop that ends up becoming the only interface a rider has between his/her machine and the road. The Roadhound is TVS Eurogrip's latest sport-touring tyre and it is offered in 120/70 ZR17 for the front wheel while the rear gets two options: 160/60 ZR17 and 180/55 ZR17.

The facility, rather admirably, relies significantly on renewable energy sources and treats its waste material in order to leave a minimal carbon footprint on the environment. TVS Eurogrip tyres are created and extensively tested within its walls. "Extensively" being the keyword, because these products are sold in global markets too. They proudly claim that they have an extensive catalogue that covers most wheel sizes in a portfolio that caters to both the Indian and overseas markets. Of course, we were particularly interested in the new Roadhound tyre.
