With the instauration connected TVS Eurogrip's tyre scope done, the treatment progressed toward the technicalities and exertion down the tyres that we were astir to test.
On the planetary range, Eurogrip offers the Protorq Extreme, Roadhound tyres nether the Sport category, Climber XC / XC-R / MX Junior for Off-road, Trailhound SCR and STR for Trail roads, and a assortment of Bee-series products for Scooters.
For India, the Protorq Extreme, Roadhound, Beamer YS+, Beamer HS+, Duratrail EB+ and Terrabite DB+ signifier the range. Through the people of the day, we were to trial the Protorq Extreme, Roundhound, Beamer HS+ and Terrabite DB+.
Mr. Sivaramakrishnan and Renato past walked america done the tyre improvement and manufacturing process astatine Eurogrip.
One country of absorption has been the tyre's interaction patch. Through they usage Variable Radius Profile technology, Eurogrip claims that the tyre's headdress contour with adaptable degrees of steepness enables an optimal interaction spot signifier and size according to the motorcycle position. Sidewall geometry is taken into relationship truthful that the plyline conformation is optimized to prolong load and forces.
On definite rear tyres specified arsenic the Roadhound, Eurogrip has introduced the Quadrazone multi-compound technology, which fundamentally entails the usage of 4 compounds successful the making of the tyre.
- Central headdress compound focusses connected expanding mileage and stableness by enhancing absorption to depletion and wearing
- Shoulders headdress compound with fillers to supply precocious grip portion leaning
- Lateral wings to supply heating power and amended the sturdiness for the tyre
- Base, a middle-layer compound successful betwixt the tread and interior operation to heighten the wide stability
We were told that the this exertion ensures that minimal vigor is transferred from the sidewall onto the tread of the tyre, enabling amended performance.
The Protorq Extreme scope person a radial carcass with ply cords angled astatine ~90 degrees with the circumference of the tyre. One / 2 layers of these cords are utilized successful conjunction with a 0" alloy loop laid perpendicular to the cords to stabilize the structure.
We past moved to the investigating of these tyres.
Eurogrip has autarkic testers based successful India, Japan and Europe who transportation retired show and durability investigating connected the tyre range. Testing is carried retired separately successful Japan and Europe fixed the chiseled quality of requirements successful these markets. The products are benchmarked against the champion successful the contention specified arsenic Pirelli, Michelin and truthful on.
With this, it was clip to perceive from the 2 adept riders connected the parameters that they measure the tyres on.
The experts told america that they fundamentally trial the tyre connected 3 main functional aspects:
1) Handing: Factors that substance are lightness (fast flip flop with a robust front), neutrality (linear cambering velocity from consecutive to maximum angle), precision (bike riding precisely connected the enactment that the rider intends), easiness (effortless and casual lane change) and quality successful keeping the trajectory in-turn and during acceleration (front that allows the rider to deed the apex, with a rear that doesn't gaffe portion accelerating).
2) Grip: Comes into play during braking (maximum grip and creaseless enactment with ABS), leaning (maximum lateral thrust of the tyre), acceleration (maximum acceleration and creaseless enactment with the electronics of the bike), grip nonaccomplishment controllability (smooth nonaccomplishment of grip, successful the eventuality of one, which tin beryllium predicted and controlled), wide grip.
3) Stability: Performance during wave, wobble connected straight, snaking successful the lean.
The league ended with a treatment connected however feedback from the adept riders makes its mode to the R&D squad and further improvement and refinement of the tyre exertion takes place.
