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.
