Bridgestone Battlax BT016 180/55WR17 (73W) Rear Tyre

The tyre that started the revolution. This road tyre once won as the “Hypersport Tyre of the Year”

Features;

• 3LC (3 Layer Compound) technology. The shoulder compound provides excellent cornering grip. The center compound offers linear handling.
• Wet performance is improved by greatly increasing the amount of silica compared to conventional SILICA RICH.
• Mono Spiral Bel: lightweight and durable cord wrapped around the circumference of the tire provides a smooth grip feeling. This contributes to high-performance tire with weight reduction grip improvement, rotational stability, high-speed performance, and excellent dumping effect.
• High Tensile Super Penetrated Cord: Steel cord material composed of inner filaments that are individually rubber-insulated. High thermal conductivity enhances heat transfer and reduces the risk of a blowout, and moisture does not accumulate between filaments, reducing the chance of oxidation. 
• Polymer improves the wear resistance of tires, and silica is effective for wet performance. These two compounds are not compatible, yet their potential is brought out by drastically increasing the affinity between these compounds. RC POLYMER for motorcycles, developed using Bridgestone’s key technology NanoPro-Tech, contributes to the improvement of wet performance and longer wear life.
