Apollo Tyres rolls out 3 new products

Apollo Tyres has introduced 3 new products: Apollo Apterra HT2 for the growing 4x4 and SUV segment, and actiZip F2 and actiZip R3 tubeless tyres for the motorcycles. Developed jointly by the company’s Global R&D Centres in Chennai, and Enschede, the Netherlands, these tyres were introduced in many cities across the country in the presence of leading business partners.

Complementing the Apollo Apterra range of tyres, the Apterra HT2 would be available in 6 sizes initially for the SUVs like Pajero Sports, Prado, Fortuner, Santa Fe, XC60, Scorpio, Safari, Hexa, TUV 300 and Bolero. With this introduction, the company aims to increase its share in the 300,000 per month SUV tyre market in the country. Now the Apollo Apterra range covers the entire spectrum of SUVs. Available in T, H and V speed indices, Apollo Apterra HT2 tyres have a superb life with lower tyre noise, and provide good comfort due to the contour of the tyre. Stiffer ribs improve the braking on dry surfaces and wider circumferential grooves improve braking on wet surfaces, thereby ensuring safety at high speeds. The special wear resistant tread compound provides superior mileage.

The Apollo actiZip F2 tubeless tyres for front fitment would be available in 2 sizes, and the actiZip R3 tubeless tyres for rear fitment in 3 sizes. With these new sizes, Apollo’s two-wheeler range covers nearly 90% of the market.

The directional pattern Apollo actiZip F2 and R3 tyres are capable of excellent dry and wet braking besides having very high levels of cornering stability, which becomes essential in Indian driving conditions. Designed with primary focus on grip, safety and comfort, these tyres are robust with optimally-oriented tread blocks and grooves for ultimate grip and high speed cornering performance. Made with new age polymers-based high mileage tread compound, these tubeless tyres have stress-free casing structure with extra protection at tread and bead area.
