Reise has launched its new range of tyres in India called the tourRad. The tourRad adventure-touring tyre range is designed as an 80:20 on-road/off-road blocked radial, aimed at offering stability, grip and long-distance comfort.
The tourRad uses radial construction for the rear tyres and a reinforced construction for the front tyre, which helps offer high-speed stability, durability and better handling. The range features a wide-block tread pattern with wider grooves aimed at enhancing traction across various road surfaces, while also allowing adequate water channeling in wet conditions.
In terms of performance, the tourRad has been tested at NATRAX and has demonstrated a shorter braking distance in dry conditions. Reise says the tyres performed better than some leading products in benchmark comparisons.
To enhance the construction, Reise has used a zero-degree steel belt, while a stiffer carcass structure allows better handling and stability during aggressive cornering. With the use of a dual-radii cavity profile, the tyre is said to have an optimised contact patch both in straight lines and while cornering. The use of high-silica and other compounds is aimed at delivering grip in both wet and dry conditions, along with extended tyre life, which is important for adventure-touring motorcycles.
The Reise tourRad is available in five different rear sizes in a 17-inch configuration, while the front is offered in three sizes across 21-inch and 19-inch wheel options.
