Eurogrip Tyres has introduced its Trailhound series in India after its international debut. This lineup includes two variants: Trailhound SCR, crafted for modern-classic roadsters, scramblers, and café racers, and Trailhound STR, designed for mid-sized and large adventure motorcycles.
Trailhound SCR Tyre Features

- High silica compound combined with carbon black ensures better grip on both dry and wet asphalt surfaces.
- Variable radius profile optimizes the contact patch, adjusting to the bike’s position whether upright, in mid-lean, or deep lean angles.
- A knobby-style tread pattern is engineered for optimal road grip while also offering traction on light off-road surfaces such as gravel, dirt, stone paving, and uneven roads.
Trailhound STR Tyre Features
