BKT Enhances Low-Noise Agrimax & Ridemax Tires

Mumbai - Balkrishna Industries Limited (BKT)., an off-highway tires manufacturer, is placing strong emphasis on operator comfort and environmental sustainability with its Agrimax V-Flecto and Ridemax IT 697 tires, engineered to deliver both high performance and reduced noise emissions.

The quieter tires contribute not only to reduced environmental noise but also to improved acoustic well-being for drivers, without compromising productivity. Industry experts note that lowering operational noise enhances efficiency and sustainability, especially as next-generation tractors adopt advanced soundproof cabs.

Tires play a pivotal role in this transition. Designed as the vehicle’s only contact point with the road, BKT’s Agrimax V-Flecto and Ridemax IT 697 help minimize vibrations that typically generate cabin resonance around 100 Hertz, particularly from rear tires at higher speeds. By mitigating this effect, the patterns significantly reduce in-cab noise levels, improving operator comfort during long working hours.

Mr. Piero Torassa, Field Engineering Director at BKT, said, “Both BKT’s Agrimax V-Flecto and Ridemax 697 significantly reduce noise, though an overall assessment should consider the type of operation, vehicle, and workload intensity.”

These innovations underline BKT’s broader commitment to sustainable farming practices, ensuring that machinery delivers reliable performance while reducing fatigue, enhancing driving comfort, and limiting noise pollution in rural and agricultural landscapes.
