Apollo Tyres Ltd has launched a premium, next-generation urban bicycle tyre, the Vredestein Perfect Tour+.

  • Perfect Tour+ has a fortified 5mm protection layer to resist punctures, while advanced silica compound delivers dependable grip and control in all conditions
  • Smart V-shaped tread delivers low rolling resistance for smoother, faster rides; certified for e-bikes and speed-pedelecs (ECE-R75)
  • Available in 6 sizes from March

Vredestein Perfect Tour+ features a highly puncture-resistance structure, along with dependable grip and control over long distances and in all conditions.

Developed by Apollo Tyres’ R&D team in Europe for daily commuting and touring cycles – including e-bikes with power assistance – the Vredestein Perfect Tour+ incorporates a reinforced 5mm puncture-protection layer that significantly reduces the risk of flats caused by road debris and harsh terrain.

The advanced material of the Vredestein Perfect Tour+ gives riders dependable control throughout the seasons, whether navigating winter commutes or taking on long touring days in unpredictable weather or terrain. The Vredestein Perfect Tour+ has an Optimum Silica Processing (OSP) compound that affords secure, predictable grip on wet, snowy or slippery surfaces. By enhancing the interaction between silica particles and the rubber matrix, the OSP compound ensures improved traction in low-temperature conditions while maintaining low levels of rolling resistance.

The Vredestein Perfect Tour+ also features a refined V-shaped tread pattern that enhances all-weather roadholding, while also minimising rolling resistance for improved efficiency and smooth, fast riding. Fully ECE R75 certified for speed-pedelec use, the tyre is built to perform under higher loads and speeds without compromising comfort or safety, making it ideally suited for fitment to power-assist bicycles as well as conventional models.

Available from March, the Perfect Tour+ comes in a range of popular touring and commuting sizes, including 50-559 and 37/40/47/50/55-622.

Nic Knippers, Divisional Head, Vredestein Two Wheel Tyres, at Apollo Tyres Ltd commented: “The Perfect Tour+ continues our long tradition of developing touring products that combine safety, durability and reliable everyday performance. With its upgraded protection and advanced compound technology, it provides riders with even more worry-free kilometres of riding, whether they’re commuting or touring, and is fully able to harness the enhanced torque delivered by e-bikes and speed pedelecs.”

With over 100 years of heritage in the bicycle tyre market, Vredestein is renowned for producing high-quality tyres that deliver exceptional performance and value. Now part of the global Apollo Tyres Ltd family, the brand continues to challenge leading competitors in the high-performance road bike segment.
