We recently received an invitation to visit the COASTT test track in Coimbatore to test Reise Moto's new steel radial tyres. What are these tyres all about and how well did they perform? Abhinav Jakhar put on some leather in search of answers

Coming to grips

There's no denying that going to one of the many race or test tracks in the country is a joyous occasion, whether it's for a new car T or motorcycle. But this time around, it was all about Reise Moto's new steel radial tyres. The company calls them TraceRad, and they are meant to provide a grippier solution for everyday motorcycle tyres. But, before we get to how the tyres did on the track, let's talk a little about what they have to offer.

Reise's TraceRad is a new range of premium steel radial tyres, which are said to incorporate a zerodegree steel belt technology. This is meant to provide more precision, handling and durability. The TraceRad tyres are priced at Rs 6,199 (rear tyre) and Rs 5,199 (front tyre). Additionally, these tyres come with a six-year manufacturing warranty and are engineered for some of the most popular motorcycle models in the Indian market.
