GRIPPING REPORT

After experiencing TVS Eurogrip Roadhound's performance on the race track, we put them through their paces on the road.

When we first experienced the TVS Eurogrip Roadhound tyres, we were at the Kari Motor Speedway in Coimbatore with a varied bunch of 500cc-plus motorcycles – the Honda CBR650F, Harley-Davidson Street Rod 750, Kawasaki Z650, Ninja 650, Benelli Leoncino 500, and TRK 502. These tyres were a real surprise entry into the world of superbiking in India, exhibiting a level of competence to challenge established players like Michelin, Metzeler, and Pirelli.

Even though we were really impressed by these tyres, our first impressions were formed in a controlled environment. So, to properly assess them, we had to experience them in real-world conditions. And that’s precisely what we did, and I must say that while they impressed me with their grip, they did exhibit a few minor shortcomings that warrant attention.
