TVS Eurogrip Tyres has been signed on as a ‘Technical Partner’ for the TVS One Make Championship 2021. This partnership, which began in 2019, has now entered its third year of continuous running so far.
The TVS One Make Championship has relied on European and Japanese imported tyres till 2018, following which TVS Srichakra stepped up and manufactured TVS Eurogrip Tyres enhanced with special compounds. These were then tested by TVS Racing, and since 2019, TVS Srichakra has been the tyre provider for the TVS One Make Championship.
This year, the TVS Apache RR 310 and the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V will be shod with the flagship TVS Eurogrip Protorq Extreme (Zero Degree Steel Belt radials) and Remora tyres.
Speaking on the association, R. Babu, Vice President, (R&D and TVS Racing) said “We at TVS Racing, India’s first factory racing team, have been consistently working to improve the performance of the machine and the riders in the TVS One Make Championship year on year. With enhanced feedback from the TVS Eurogrip, the rider will feel more confident in the race and will gradually progress with outstanding results in TVS Apache RR310 and TVS Apache RTR 200 4V categories. We look forward to the continued fruitful association with TVS Srichakra Ltd.”
Executive Vice President of TVS Srichakra Ltd. P Madhavan, commented on the partnership saying “TVS Eurogrip has had a long-standing relationship with TVS Motor Company and we are glad to be strategically associated with TVS Racing. As we sign on for the third year in a row as technical partners for TVS One Make Championship, we remain committed towards strengthening two-wheeler racing in India and offering world-class high-performance products for today’s new-age bikers.”
It is heartening to see an Indian manufacturer like TVS stepping up in the Indian motorsports arena and providing high-quality racing tyres to an Indian racing team.
