Bridgestone Battlax BT-016 Pro Hypersport Radial Front Tire

• Quality engineered for rich feedback and secure contact feel in all conditions
• Multi-compound technology from MotoGP delivers grip performance demanded in every aspect - braking, maximum side grip in corning, and strong traction out of corners
• Opportunity for every rider to enjoy Bridgestone's MotoGP technology
• 3LC technology along with tread patterns, optimal profiles and constructions provide linear and high performance handling for a wide range of sport bikes
• Computer designed profiles maximize the lateral stiffness (grip) and maintain linear contact pressure at all lean angles (handling)
• Tread pattern design achieves a noticeable reduction in tread noise
• Convex tire profiles give quicker and lighter handling in tight corners
• Designed for passionate riders who enjoy cornering with deep lean angles
• Sport tire designed to maximize the performance of sport bikes on the road today
• This motorcycle tire is tubeless
• These sport touring motorcycle tires are Z rated for speeds up to 149 mph

Tire Compound:

• 3 Layer Compound (3LC) provides grip performance demanded in all riding modes
• Center compound results in good stability and wear life
• Shoulder compound provides grip and bump absorption
• Silica Rich EX: Increased Silica composition ratio higher than Silica Rich to provide solid wet performance
• RC Polymer: A specific Nano Pro-Tech butadiene rubber that is specifically designed to react with silica, improving tread flexibility to provide enhanced wet traction and long wear life
• Nano Pro-Tech: Is a Bridgestone proprietary technology that controls the interaction between polymer, filler materials (carbon black, silica) and other rubber chemicals at the molecular level

Tire Construction:

• Mono-Spiral Belt construction: A continuous single strand of cord is wrapped around the circumference and serves as a belt of a tire, eliminating overlapping of belts, seams, and joints
• Mono-Spiral Belt construction makes the tire lighter than conventional multi cross belt construction, has more stability since it minimizes heat generation inside the tire, and gives high shock absorption
• High Tensile Super Penetrated Cord (HTSPC): Features a 1X5 filament, rubber insulated steel Mono-Spiral Belt allowing more flexibility than other types of the steel used by competitors, reduces heat generation, and provides stability without deteriorating shock absorption
• Steel belt construction provides good bump absorption, grip and stability during high speed riding

Tread Pattern:

• Front tire pattern was designed to maximize high speed stability while minimizing vibration
• Parallel S shaped groves give optimal cornering force to improve stability, linear handling and bump absorption
• Groove location across tread center provides rich contact feel and stable wet performance
• 6% negative ratio maximizes dry grip and improves wear life

Test Results vs Bridgestone Battlax BT-016 Hypersport Radial Tires:

• Significant improvement of the cornering performance
• Significant improvement of stability and straight line handling
• Performance level in all wet conditions are improved
• Maintains performance level through the complete tire life

Available in the following motorcycle tire sizes: 120/70ZR-17

Note:

• 120/70ZR-17 is O.E.M replacement for Triumph Street Triple 2009

A motorcycle tire has to be rugged and capable of giving rich feedback and secure contact, no matter the conditions. Ride smoothly with multi-compound technology that affects braking and traction around corners.
