HANOVER, Germany, June 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On June 10, at the opening day of The Tire Cologne 2026, Linglong Tire globally launched its new ultra-high-performance (UHP) tire — SPORT MASTER 2. The event drew over 100 international clients and media representatives, making it one of the most high-profile debuts of the show.
Led by Linglong's European technical team, SPORT MASTER 2 was fully tested and will be manufactured at Linglong's European plant — the first overseas production base of a Chinese tire maker in Europe, already certified by Ford (Q1), Volkswagen, Audi and BMW. This "local R&D, local validation, local production" loop ensures the product meets Europe's stringent standards on handling, safety and sustainability, marking Linglong's shift from "going global" to "moving upmarket."
Three Breakthroughs
Compared with its predecessor, SPORT MASTER 2 delivers three core upgrades:
- Precision handling — Optimized rigid tread blocks + aramid-reinforced cap ply minimize deformation under aggressive driving, enabling sharp steering response.
- Full-lifecycle safety — Even contact-pressure distribution prevents uneven wear; four wide longitudinal grooves shorten wet braking distance from new to worn.
- Extended mileage — Functional polymer + advanced silane compound with anti-slip resin boosts durability without sacrificing grip.
The tire also features full-sidewall laser engraving for a velvet-like black finish and checkered-flag motifs, covering 16–22 inches for sedans, sports cars and SUVs/CUVs. The first 74 sizes will roll off the European plant in spring 2027.
Other core products from LingLong, LEAO, and CROSSWIND—passenger, commercial, and specialty tires—addressed varied transport needs.
With SPORT MASTER 2 as flagship, Linglong is advancing into the core tier of the global UHP market — a milestone of its "three-upward" strategy and proof that Chinese tire brands can now set standards in the premium arena.

Linglong Unveils SPORT MASTER 2 at Tire Cologne 2026
LOS ANGELES, June 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Insta360 today announced the launch of the new Ace Pro 2 Arctic White Videography Bundles. Designed to position the action camera as a new-generation everyday essential, this release blends high-end imaging performance with lifestyle aesthetics. Evolving the camera from a pure utility tool into a medium for emotional expression and personal style, the new bundles introduce a cohesive, all-white accessory ecosystem. The lineup delivers a vintage digital camera aesthetic combined with the tactile satisfaction of instant photo printing, creating a complete imaging ecosystem tailored for lifestyle creators.
Key Highlights and Features
The Arctic White ecosystem introduces a clean, minimalist design that seamlessly integrates into everyday fashion as a premium staple. The pure white finish of the camera and accessories also serves as a versatile canvas, encouraging users to personalize their gear with DIY customizations.
Xplorer Grip Pro Kit (Arctic White)
The color-matched Xplorer Grip Pro Kit transforms Ace Pro 2 into a street photography tool with enhanced ergonomics. Connecting via USB-C, the grip features a physical dial for adjusting exposure, shutter speed, and filters, and a dedicated Zoom Knob for smooth 1-2x slide zoom and 2x lossless zoom. A detachable threaded shutter button rounds out the tactile experience. Additionally, the grip houses a built-in 2010mAh battery that automatically charges the camera, delivering up to 5 hours and 40 minutes of continuous shooting.
Pocket Printer (Arctic White) & Light Leak Overlays
The new Pocket Printer (Arctic White) enables quick wireless Bluetooth printing directly from the camera. Utilizing dye-sublimation technology and a 16.7-million-color gamut, the printer outputs crisp, waterproof, and dustproof 3-inch prints with an exclusive Ace Pro 2 watermark. Through the Insta360 app, users can manage batch printing from the camera or their phone's photo gallery without interrupting their workflow. The app also introduces the new Light Leak Overlay feature, allowing users to apply vintage film grain, light leaks, lens flares, and retro timestamps to their photos before printing.
Industry-First 2-in-1 Flash + Fill Light for Action Cameras
Expanding the ecosystem is the new 2-in-1 Flash + Fill Light (sold separately), designed to solve the low-light limitations of action cameras. Delivering a peak brightness of up to 4000 lux (measured at 19.7 inches/0.5 meters), it features a smart TTL auto-flash, 4-level manual brightness adjustment, and a wide color temperature range (2500K–6500K). The light integrates seamlessly with the camera's software and built-in color profiles to produce retro-style night portraits. It features magnetic mounting, Bluetooth wireless control for off-camera lighting, and a 43-foot waterproof rating.
Advanced Imaging & In-Camera Features
The Ace Pro 2 Arctic White Limited Edition retains its advanced imaging capabilities, powered by a Dual-AI Chip for exceptional low-light performance, supporting up to 4K60fps in PureVideo Mode. The camera's 2.5-inch flip touchscreen facilitates easy self-framing, making expansive, wide-angle selfies effortless. Software enhancements include a dedicated Portrait Mode with refined skin smoothing algorithms, in-camera Live Photo capture, and a suite of built-in Leica and cinematic film profiles (including NC Film, CC Film, and Vintage Vacation) for stylized, straight-out-of-camera results.
The Arctic White Ecosystem
The Insta360 Ace Pro 2 Arctic White Limited Edition is available in three distinct bundles, each featuring the single-battery version of the camera alongside specialized accessories tailored to different creative workflows:
- Flash Print Bundle: Includes the Xplorer Grip Pro Kit, Pocket Printer, Flip Screen Hood, and a Classic Leather Case that neatly stores the entire kit. The Flash Print Bundle is ideal for social gatherings, parties, and lifestyle creators who want the full vintage digital camera experience. The Flip Screen Hood provides a waist-level viewfinder feel, while the Pocket Printer allows creators to instantly turn memories into tangible, retro-styled keepsakes.
- Xplorer Mist Bundle (not available in the US): Includes the Xplorer Grip Pro Kit, Black Mist Filter, and Screen Protector. The Xplorer Mist Bundle is geared toward cinematic vlogging and atmospheric street photography. The Black Mist Filter softens highlights and lowers contrast, giving footage a natural, film-like glow that pairs perfectly with the camera's built-in cinematic color profiles.
- Xplorer Pro Bundle (US only): Featuring the Xplorer Grip Pro Kit, this is the essential setup for adventure travel and capturing everyday moments. It provides extended battery life and tactile physical controls, ensuring the camera is always ready to capture high-quality footage on the go without the bulk of additional accessories.
