Besides the introduction of tires for cars, the European company also introduced its Centauro range of tires for motorcycles. Two options are available, the Centauro ST and the Centauro NS, the latter being the sportier and more capable offering of the two, while the former is designed for on-road and sport touring use. Both feature a zero degree steel radial belt and are designed for larger displacement motorcycles, ideally those in the 600-1200cc range. Vredestein first launches these motorcycle tires in India before launching them in the rest of the world. The Centauro NS and ST tire ranges have been developed in close partnership with the Italian design firm Frascoli.

Vredestein Tires and senior management at Apollo Tires in India have discovered that now is the time to launch a premium tire brand in India, given how most premium car makers like Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi have had better sales during and after the lockdown than say a year or two ago.
