CEAT GRIPP XL Secura F85+ – 1st Impressions Review

January 8, 2016 Off By Editorial Team

The CEAT GRIPP XL Secura F85+ setup is ideal for the offroad enthusiast on a budget. We installed them on a classic Bajaj Pulsar 150. This motorcycle was once worth its weight at the scrap yard. When paired together are a match made in automotive heaven for enthusiasts of the slush and dirt order. Taking it on from where the last product was left off in the series, the F85+ thread pattern wades through the slush like butter on a hot knife. This, on a 50+ kilometer ride organized by moto8 events in the latter half of the year. While the lead tyre ensures the motorcycle never slipped up, the Gripp placed on the rear rim munched its way through the slush muck and water logged path just as easily.

Turning down inhibitions of the “buttons” on tarmac and concrete, the Gripp ensures that it is in sync with its lead. Thus, zipping past traffic on highways and negotiating city roads. In the initial 200 odd kms of its run, the tubes ensured that the bike was not grounded by punctures. In addition to this, when tested on gravel dirt and stone, it tiptoed like a NINJA from a rooftop to the floor.

The host vehicle is built not for speed or some high adrenaline offroading. The very purpose of the Bajaj Pulsar is to get the rider from mountain A to mountain B without much ado. It is more than as an easy going ride. The 12 BHP Pulsar motorcycle works in tandem wit the tyres be it –
