Micheldever Tyre Services introduces TVS Eurogrip’s Roadhound sports touring moto tyre

Micheldever Tyre Services has added TVS Eurogrip’s Roadhound sports touring motorcycle tyre to its range. The distributor said the tyre will “improve grip in all conditions without sacrificing sporting performance” in a variety of terrains and conditions. It is designed for sports bikes, naked bikes, and crossovers of all engine capabilities. MTS says the Roadhound is “ideal for commuters and biking enthusiasts who regularly travel long distances.”

The Roadhound was independently tested by Moto Excape on a Honda NC750X recently, travelling 10,000km to Norway’s North Cape.  With Its rugged mountain passes and sparse rural areas, the tyres performed in changeable weather conditions, with the test highlighting some of the tyre’s new technical features. The same set of tyres were then used on a separate journey to Greece, via the Balkans. Despite difficult terrain and conditions in Norway, the tyres stood up to the challenge.

Moto Excape said: “In conclusion, the right word is “surprise”. The motorcycle’s dashboard shows almost 17.000 km, covered in about two and a half months with the Roadhound. Aside from durability, certainly a fundamental point of a sport touring tyre, these tyres have been appreciated for the safety they manage to convey, both on dry and wet surfaces, regardless of the external temperature, especially in more sporty driving. It is therefore the ideal tyre for sports touring, naked bikes and road crossovers.”

MTS says the tyre’s increased safety features will help motorcyclists to maintain control through sharp curves or sudden braking. An improved multilayer structure enables heavier loads, such as carrying an extra passenger, to be carried without reducing performance.

The Roadhound’s structure works to reduce vibrations and shocks a rider might experience in the saddle and handlebar on varied surfaces. This only contributes to the quality of driving pleasure and improved concentration, once again highlighting the improved safety measures that the tyre brings.
