Technical Features
[Compound]
•Compound is one of the breakthrough technologies derived from Bridgestone Moto GP involvements, which simultaneously realize the both of high grip and light handling.
[Profile]
•Battlax BT-014 profiles were tuned by 3D CTDM simulation to achieve quick handling and strong cornering performances by securing the optimum contact pressures in all lean angles.
[Construction]
•Bridgestone applied the patented High Tensile Super Penetrated Cord on Mono Spiral construction. The effective material enhances cornering grip power, without sacrificing high high-speed stability and shock absorption.
Narrow Ply Construction
The revolutionary narrow ply construction gives superior cornering grip, optimum rigidity for quicker handling, and high speed straightway stability. This unique construction is used for the first time in Bridgestone Battlax BT-014.
Cap-and-Base Construction
The underlying layer controls tread stiffness as well as providing reinforcement and shock absorption. The grip-enhancing compound on top contains silica for all weather performance, tire life, and superb cornering grip.
Outside Bead Filler
In addition to the conventional inner bead filler, Battlax BT-014 employs the Outside Bead Filler. The New Generation Outside Bead Filler realizes the ideal sidewall profile analyzed by finite element method by giving optimum force distribution and rigidity balance.
HTSPC MONO-SPIRAL BELT (High Tensile Super Penetrated Cord)
Bridgestone is the first manufacturer to adapt 1X5 filament, rubber insulated steel MSB to Motorcycles radial tires. The latest technology gives following advantages to motorcycle tire; allows more flexibility than other types of the steel used by competitors, reduces heat generation, and provides stability without deteriorating shock absorption.
[Pattern]
•The directional diagonal grooves improve handling linearity by uniform deformation, and center S-curve cross grooves offer light handling, stability, and shock absorption.
