HILO Engineering

Engineering that
earns its kilometres.

Precision manufacturing meets aggressive innovation. Explore the advanced materials and structural engineering that define HILO's high-performance standard on every road, in every condition.

Tread compound

Natural rubber blended with styrene-butadiene rubber makes a more balanced compound — strong under braking, resistant to punctures and scratches, and slow to wear. Measured against a conventional compound indexed at 100, the factory rates strength at 108, with heat dissipation and wear resistance both at 106.

Sidewall and casing

A shield pattern extends up onto the sidewall, protecting it from damage and adding traction on mud. Beneath the tread the casing is built from three layers of polyester fabric, which is what makes the tyre rugged against sharp impacts from rock and debris.

Shoulder design

An open shoulder with widened, deepened grooves clears mud at both low and high speed. The large blocks carried across the shoulder are what steady the tyre on broken, rocky ground.
