BKT: debut for the FL 637 tyre

Agritechnica 2017 is the ideal opportunity to present the latest BKT product. Hanover hosts the debut of the FL 637 (in size 520/50 R 17) as a tyre developed especially for spreaders, trailers and tanker lorries. The tread pattern design guarantees exceptional traction, while the steel belt structure ensures longer durability, coupled with higher load capacity. Excellent floating properties, low rolling resistance and excellent self-cleaning properties are the technical features that make the FL 637 an ideal solution for combined transport both in the field and on the road. In addition to the new FL 637, another product that has attracted much attention from the public is the Agrimax V-Flecto model, which is mounted on a huge tractor made with 1,500 kg of plexiglass. This decidedly unusual display is dedicated to this tyre, unique in its class, which responds specifically to the current and future demands of modern farming, boosting the performance of many machines. Also on prominent show on the BKT stand, the BK-Loader 53 (in size 405/70 R 20), a tyre launched recently on the market and specialized in recycling operations. Equipped with aramid belts, it is designed to equip loader blades engaged in industrial applications, an area it is particularly suited to. Yet the presence of BKT at Agritechnica also wants to be an opportunity for interacting with the public and for entertainment. The football shows put on by Iya Traoré (Guinean football player and Freestyler) are very entertaining, and already at the SIMA in Paris he excited the audience with his acrobatic performance.  Thanks to this success, BKT has recently signed an agreement with the African champion, who will be the company’s special guest at various events. Moreover, BKT supports the IYA Foundation, created by the champion with the aim of helping Guinean children aged 8 to 28 through sports and school programmes.
