Bridgestone Battlax BT-016 Pro Hypersport Radial Rear 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: Silica enhanced compound provides more consistent and longer lasting grip with enhanced grip in wet conditions and low temperatures
• 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:

• Rear tire has high negative ratio to enhance cornering grip and cornering stability
• L shaped grooves enhance bump absorption and rear-end steering
• Grooves do not cross tread center area providing both wet performance and strong traction. High speed durability is also maximized
• 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: 180/55ZR-17, 190/50ZR-17, and 190/55ZR-17

Note:

• 180/55ZR-17 is O.E.M replacement for Triumph Street Triple 2009

Reduce noise and maneuver around tight corners with speed on a motorcycle with profiles designed by a computer. Using the latest technologies, the tubeless tire gives you maximum grip on corners and while braking.
