AS a young businessman and entrepreneur, a lot of my time is spent working. That does not mean I do not have hobbies. I have a fair few of them but nothing gives me as much joy as riding. To that end, I am the founder and admin of a riding club called Kendrapara Bikers. I have been to 24 states of India so far, and I have ridden more than 20,000 km in all kinds of terrains. I like exploring unexplored places and doing that on a motorcycle gives me joy.

Once more, something deep within me called out to me. Some tiny bit of my spirit was wandering through lush forests, going up and down winding roads, and enjoying the hills. It was calling out to me for the next thrill of my life. I needed a break as well. My definition of a break is to find new people, food, culture, and traditions. It wakes up the real me from its slumber. And so, it was all set. I was going for a ride.

My Yamaha R15 V3’s eyes lit up as well. I chose to ride to Keonjhar and its neighbouring areas. I was in touch with xBhp with this plan for their #xBhpJKSmartRides Project. Fortunately, I got selected and got a chance to not only ride but review the Smart Tyres from JK Tyre. “The Kanjipani Ghat section was going to be a great test for these tyres”, I thought to myself. Once I got the go-ahead, I went to the nearest JK Tyre Steel Wheels outlet to get the Smart Tyres installed.

The actual tyres that I put on my motorcycle were JK Tyre Blaze BF32 100/80-17 and JK Tyre Blaze RYDR BR41 140/70-117. What turns them into Smart Tyres is the sensor wrapped around the wheel. By downloading the Treelcare App, you can scan the QR Code on the box in which the sensor came in and you’re all set. The app can now be used to monitor the vitals of your tyres such as pressure, temperature etc. Pretty handy, I’d say.
