Eurogrip Tyres, a leading name in India’s 2 & 3-wheeler tyre segment, has introduced its internationally acclaimed Trailhound tyres to the Indian market. The Trailhound range is available in two variants: Trailhound SCR, designed for modern-classic roadsters, scramblers, and café racers, and Trailhound STR, tailored for medium and large adventure motorcycles.
On the launch, Mr. P. Madhavan, Executive Vice President – Marketing & Sales, TVS Srichakra Ltd, said, “Following our international launch of Trailhound tyres at auto show EICMA in Italy, we are happy to launch Trailhound tyres in India today. Trailhound enhances our already extensive premium product range and its two variants SCR and STR are sure to delight India’s growing adventure rider segment. As bike tyre specialists, we look forward to bringing more world-class products to the Indian market.”
On the product design, Mr. V. Sivaramakrishnan, Chief Technology Officer, TVS Srichakra Ltd said, “Art and science are at work while we design tyres with global technology, as both tread pattern design as well as material composition have a great impact on performance – Trailhound is a true testament to this. Trailhound SCR tyres have 80/20 on-off capabilities, and the tread pattern is designed to improve water drainage and traction on gravel roads, while retaining excellent stability and comfort on tarmac. The 90/10 tread pattern design of Trailhound STR boosts water dispersal, wear uniformity and traction on gravel and light off-road terrain.”
