    The Best Tyre Options For Royal Enfield Himalayan

    For the front and rear Royal Enfield tyre size of Himalayan, CEAT offers Gripp XL F and Gripp XL, which suits the ruggedness and durability of the Himalayan perfectly. For more details on Gripp XL, click here.

    CEAT Gripp XL features angular tread blocks, which are large enough to increase the traction between the tyres and dry or wet surfaces. This enhanced traction gives increased levels of grip, which enables the tyre with a go-anywhere ability. Moreover, the integration of unique compound and modern tread pattern allows even wear of the tyre resulting in longer tyre and tread life. 

    For additional grip, while riding on loose surfaces like slush and sand, the tread blocks of the Gripp XL tyres have sizable passages between them. These passages also make way for a uniform arrangement for tread blocks, which allow better mass transfer for increased stability on usual roads. With this, the Gripp XL tyre shows equal competence for both smooth and off-road terrains, thus, adding up to the versatility of the Royal Enfield Himalayan as an all-rounder.
