Apollo Tyres has launched the Vredestein Superpasso 2, a road bike tire that reportedly brings pro-level compound technology to the mid-range segment.
The tire uses the same advanced tread compound as the high-performance Superpasso Pro flagship model, providing an optimal balance of grip and speed. It also features a highly durable casing.
Compared with 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, according to Apollo.
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 tire 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. According to the tire maker, this balance helps riders maintain speed and confidence across a range of riding conditions.
Nic Knippers, divisional head of Vredestein two-wheel tires at Apollo Tyres, 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 tire – they want a tire that delivers both speed and safety, without compromise.”
Available from May 2026, the Superpasso 2 will be offered across Europe in tubeless-ready (28-622, 32-622) and tube-type (25-622, 28-622, 32-622) versions, in black/black and black/transparent options.
