Apollo Tyres Unveils the Advanced EnduRace RA 2 Truck Tyre

Key Features and Improvements

The EnduRace RA 2 boasts a plethora of enhancements over its predecessor. Here are some of the standout features:

1. New Tread Design: The tyre now features a compact tread design, which offers a wider contact area, ensuring better grip and handling across various terrains.
2. Enhanced Materials: The revised compound of the tyre has superior abrasion properties. This, combined with the modified bead construction and the inclusion of low hysteresis material in high-stress regions, ensures protection against deformation, especially when the tyre is under significant load.
3. Performance Metrics: The tyre promises an impressive 5% increase in mileage. Furthermore, it offers a 10% reduction in rolling resistance and a 1dB decrease in average road noise. Traction has also seen a 10% improvement compared to the first-generation RA tyre.
4. Innovative Technology: The EnduRace RA 2 incorporates Apollo Tyres' groundbreaking 'Invisible Groove Technology'. This includes a unique groove pattern and 'Multi-Edge' shoulder blocks, ensuring enhanced grip, traction, and durability throughout the tyre's lifespan. This technology also provides superior handling on challenging surfaces, including snow. In recognition of its severe weather capabilities, the tyre has been awarded the 'three-peak mountain snowflake' certification.

A Word from the Experts

John Nikhil Joy, the Cluster Director Europe – Truck & Bus Tyres at Apollo Tyres, reflected on the journey of the EnduRace RA series. "We launched the first generation of the EnduRace RA in 2021, and it quickly became a favourite among medium- and long-distance hauliers across Europe. Our continued investment in truck tyre R&D, driven by direct customer feedback, has allowed us to introduce groundbreaking innovations in design and materials. The new RA product truly distinguishes itself in this fiercely competitive segment."
