Apollo Tyres Ltd has announced the launch of its new Vredestein Superpasso 2, a versatile new road bike tyre that brings pro-level compound technology to the mid-range segment.

This new tyre incorporates the same advanced tread compound as the high-performance Superpasso Pro flagship model to provide an optimal balance of grip and speed. The tyre also features a highly durable casing, making it particularly well suited for cycling enthusiasts and leisure cyclists.

Compared to its predecessor, the Superpasso 2 delivers up to 19 per cent lower rolling resistance (28mm TLR), whilst maintaining the same high levels of grip and puncture resistance that riders expect, ensuring increased speed without compromising safety or reliability.

The Superpasso 2 features a 100 TPI casing and reinforced ‘breaker layer’, retaining the durability and puncture protection of the previous generation, with performance enhancement driven primarily by the updated casing and compound.

The tyre also features Apollo Tyres’ TriComp technology, which uses multiple rubber compounds across the tread and shoulders, plus a firmer central compound that effectively reduces rolling resistance and supports durability. At the same time, the shoulder compounds enhance grip and cornering control, particularly in wet conditions, helping bike riders maintain speed and confidence across a range of riding conditions.

Nic Knippers, Divisional Head, Vredestein Two Wheel Tyres, at Apollo Tyres Ltd, says, “With the Superpasso 2, rolling resistance has been significantly reduced, while grip and puncture protection remain at the same high level. No rider wants a flat tyre, and this tyre delivers both speed and safety without compromise.”

The Superpasso 2 tyre is available across Europe in both tubeless-ready (28-622, 32-622) and tube-type (25-622, 28-622, 32-622) options in both black/black and black/transparent variants.
