There’s a new budget tyre brand on the scene, and it’s kicked off with a rather interesting OE fitment to the new Aprilia RS457 A2-friendly mini sportsbike. The brand is Eurogrip, and it’s produced by Indian giant TVS – which explains the Aprilia fitting. TVS is producing the RS457 for Aprilia, so fitting its own in-house rubber makes a lot of sense in terms of both fast R&D and cost cutting.
The new Aprilia comes with Eurogrip Protorq Extreme radial tyres, which claim to offer great road and track performance with excellent handling thanks to a 0° steel belt, tri-polymer trad compound, and high-carbon and silica structure. The firm says the tyre was developed alongside the Aprilia development team on road and track in Italy.
And the new brand has also launched its new Roadhound sport-touring tyres, which are claimed to have outstanding durability as well as good wet performance and a low price.
