Apollo Tyres Launches New Tramplr Series Dual-purpose Tyres

Apollo Tyres has launched two new Tramplr series of block patterned rubbers, meant for bikes between the range of 150cc to 500cc. The new rubbers will offer the bike more capability on broken tarmac as well as for adventure touring. However, these tyres will not be helpful for extreme off-roading or hardcore enduro. 

The Apollo tyre XR ranges from Rs 6,500 to Rs 12,000, whereas the ST is more affordable, starting at Rs 4,500 and going up to Rs 6,000.

Tramplr XR

The Tramplr XR series comes in three different variants. A 90/90 - 19 inch front and 120/80 - R18 inch at the rear that will fit the 350cc to 500cc range including Royal Enfield Classic 350, Meteor 350.

The second variant is more suitable for 150cc to 250cc bikes, something like the Yamaha FZ-FI, FZ 25, MT-15, Bajaj Dominar 250 and Suzuki Gixxer. It gets a 100/80 - 17 inch front and an R17 at the rear with a 140/70 section.

The third variant of the XR series gets R17 at both ends. The suffix R in all three variants denotes steel radial technology, which offers better road contact and more flexible side-walls, as a consequence ensuring more confidence while cornering. Coming back to the XR range, it comes in 110/70 section up front and 150/60 at the rear. These fit the bikes that fall between the 250cc to 350cc segment including the KTM 250 Duke, BMW G 310 R and Honda CB300 R.

Tramplr ST

Unlike the XR, the Tramplr ST comes in two variants with both flaunting 17-inch rubbers at both ends. The first variant of the Tramplr ST is offered for models like the Bajaj Pulsar NS 160, TVS Apache RTR 160 and 180, and the Honda Unicorn.  The tyre section sizes are mentioned below:

The second variant of the ST gets the same 17-inch rubbers, but in different sizes. This variant is compatible with 150cc to 250cc bikes, the same ones as the second variant of the XR.

Interestingly, the company offers these tyres for supersports like the Yamaha R15 and Kawasaki Ninja 300 as well. That said, such chunky, block-patterned tyres for supersports do not make sense, as with its hard compound construction tyres, the grip levels will be compromised, as opposed to the soft compound tyres like the Apollo H1.

Apart from that, Apollo Tyres is also working on a 21-inch front rubber compatible with the Hero XPulse 200 and the Royal Enfield Himalayan and it will be launched in December this year.
