BATTLAX-BT-016-PRO
SPORT MOTORCYCLE TIRES

The front and rear wheels of the new Battlax BT 016 Pro feature Bridgestone's renowned multi-layer compound technologies.

Two different rubber compounds are used on each of the two wheels using the 3LC (Three Layer Compound) process:

The compound in the center of the tread ensures good braking power transmission at the front wheel and high traction and mileage at the rear wheel, respectively, while the rubber compound on the tire shoulder is responsible for maximum grip in lean angles.

The rubber compounds used in the BT 016 Pro have been completely redeveloped and give the BT 016 Pro further improved wet grip, while at the same time increasing mileage.

The 'Silica Rich EX' (increased silica content in the compound) and 'RC Polymer' technologies are used. 'RC Polymer' supports the silica effect and at the same time controls the temperature-dependent change in the rubber compound.

The front and rear wheel construction is based on Bridgestone's proven HTSPC (High Tensile Super Penetrated Cord) platform with MSB (Mono Spiral Belt) steel belt.

Thanks to this construction, control of slides and line fidelity in corners are optimized without sacrificing good shock absorption.

The increased stiffness of the construction helps maintain a consistent contact area and stability at high speeds. The profile of the Battlax BT 016 Pro remained unchanged compared to the BT 016.
