BRIDGESTONE 144002005 MOTORCYCLE TYRE

BATTLAX BT 016 Pro

The front and rear wheels of the new Battlax BT 016 Pro have the well-known Bridgestone multi-layer compound technologies.

Two different rubber compounds are installed on both wheels using the 3LC (Three Layer Compound) process:

The mixture in the middle of the tread ensures good braking force transmission on the front wheel and high traction and mileage on the rear wheel, the rubber mixture on the tire shoulder is responsible for maximum grip in an inclined position.

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 the mileage.

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

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

Thanks to this structure, the control of slides and the line accuracy in curves are optimized without having to forego good shock absorption.

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