The Apollo Amazer 4G life has a Robust cavity design which results in the ability to resist impacts and has structural durability on bad roads. The tyre has been designed with Micro puncture technology which gives superior resistance to nail Penetration so the chances that the tyre getting a puncture is low. The manufacturer claims that the ultra-high wear resistant tread compound provides 100000+ kms of tyre life which is what makes this tyre special. The durability and efficiency that the tyre provides is top notch.
Some of the benefits of this tyre include consistent performance at all speeds, wide grooves for outstanding grip in wet conditions, enhanced endurance and safe braking capabilities and optimum performance throughout the year.
Bridgestone B290:
The Bridgestone B290 is made for performance. It performs well in wet and dry conditions and the tread patter allows one to brake even in wet conditions. To reduce the noise created while driving, Bridgestone has carved five different tread blocks on the tyre.
The channel created on the surface of the tyre ensures resistance to aquaplaning which means that the water which comes in contact with tyre patch is channeled through the grooves to exit from the surface so that the tyre can get more traction in wet conditions. The braking capacity increases and a shorter braking distance can be expected from the Bridgestone B290 series.
The superior quality rubber used in manufacturing the tyres provides ample amount of comfort and smoothness to the rider. The capability of resisting hydroplaning allows the rider to drive with confidence. The tyre tread and the groove channelling ensures a smooth ride and the stability that the rider requires to deal with the corners.
