1. Comparison based on Battlax Sport Touring T33 (120/70ZR17 & 180/55ZR17) vs previous generation Battlax Sport Touring T32 (120/70ZR17 & 180/55ZR17) in internal testing. Results may vary depending upon proper tire and vehicle maintenance, surface conditions, and riding habits.
The CAP&BASE construction divides the shoulder of the compound of the tire into upper and lower sections. By using a high grip compound for the upper section of the shoulder, and a high stability abrasion resistant compound for the lower and central sections, this provides the desired combination of both performance and mileage.
MSB construction means that a continuous single strand is wrapped around the circumference of the tire. This one-piece construction eliminates overlapping of belts, seams, and joints. An MSB tire is lighter than conventional multi-cross belt construction, it also has more stability since it minimizes heat generation inside the tire and gives high shock absorption.
Bridgestone was the very first motorcycle tire manufacturer to utilize 1X5 filament rubber insulated steel (MSB) in the manufacture of its motorcycle radial tires. This makes the tire more flexible, provides more stability without a reduction in shock absorption, and minimizes the generation of heat throughout the tire.
RC Polymer technology optimizes the distribution of silica within the rubber compound and improves tread flexibility allowing greater contact with the road surface in both hot and cold conditions. The reduction in molecular friction also improves rolling resistance, therefore increasing fuel economy.
Performance in wet conditions is improved by increasing the amount of silica compared to conventional SILICA RICH.
NanoPro-Tech is the name of a technology that facilitates the realization of the required features in a tire by controlling the material microstructure through structural design at the molecular level. It is one of Bridgestone’s fundamental technologies.
Visualization of the tire contact patch behavior with measurement and simulation technology. Supplies less slip area for good traction while riding and improves wear life.
A: Width (120/80-19)
Width of the tire, typically in millimeters, from sidewall across the tread to the opposite sidewall.
B: Aspect Ratio (120/80-19)
The height of the cross-sectional profile expressed as a % of the width of the tire
C: Rim Size (120/80-19)
The third number is the diameter of the wheel in inches.
Example: 120/80-19 or A/B-C [ The width(A) of the tire is 120mm. The sidewall height(B) is 80% of 120 or 96mm. And it fits a 19in wheel(C) ]
