Vredestein Superpasso 2 road bike tyre brings pro-level performance to mid-range segment
Apollo Tyres Ltd has launched the Vredestein Superpasso 2, a versatile new road bike tyre that brings pro-level compound technology to the mid-range segment.
The new tyre uses 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 to cycling enthusiasts and leisure cyclists.
Compared to its predecessor, the Superpasso 2 delivers up to 19% lower rolling resistance (28mm TLR), while maintaining the same high levels of grip and puncture resistance riders expect. This ensures 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 gains driven primarily by the updated casing and compound.
The tyre features Apollo Tyres’ TriComp technology, which uses multiple rubber compounds across the tread and shoulders. A firmer central compound reduces rolling resistance and supports durability, while softer shoulder compounds enhance grip and cornering control, particularly in wet conditions. This balance helps riders maintain speed and confidence across a range of riding conditions.
Nic Knippers, Divisional Head, Vredestein Two Wheel Tyres, at Apollo Tyres Ltd, said: “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 – they want a tyre that delivers both speed and safety, without compromise.”
Available from May 2026, the Superpasso 2 will be offered 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 options.
