In India, we are always concerned about two factors when buying a new car or bike - fuel efficiency and mileage. That’s the reason why, mass market four-wheelers and two-wheelers sold in India generally advertise these as leading features. Better fuel efficiency means you are keeping your daily expenses to the minimum and good mileage helps you in keeping the long-term maintenance costs in check.
If you own a bike taxi fleet or are into commercial delivery services, the ‘kitna deti hai?’ factor can make or break your operations. The lower the cost of every completed ride or package delivered, the higher your earnings per kilometre. A bike tyre optimised for your fleet and Indian roads can help you go the distance quite efficiently.
