Foreign tyre makers currently dominate the superbike tyre market in India. But TVS Eurogrip aims to change that with its new line of Roadhound tyres. But can it?
Making superbike tyres is a challenging task, I have no doubt. Tyres are the only point of contact between a motorcycle and the often unpredictable road, laden with dust and debris, that keeps the rider upright and straight, allowing them to exploit the full potential of their machine. The difficulty is compounded when these are meant for sports touring. Which means - be able to carry luggage and a passenger, take corners with a knee down, stay stable on highways at triple-digit speeds, and last at least 10,000-15,000km. And that’s where TVS Eurogrip comes in, for they seem to have come up with a solution to take on established marques.

A FRIEND INDEED
I am at a stage in life when a phone call from friends or family means one of two things — either an invitation to a major life event or news of someone's passing. In such moments, what you need is quiet reliability. And that's exactly what the Honda Elevate offered — not excellence, but presence.
