Ron Haslam:
"…For 2007 Bridgestone asked me to try the BT-014, super popular with bike manufacturers for OE, as well as replacement sales. …For a road tyre they offered exceptional grip and after crossing the line, I had to do a double take of my lap timer - 1 min 39.5 seconds. The lap record for an equivalent Superstock bike is only 3.5 seconds faster and they're in race trim!"
(Bridgestone UK has sponsored the The Ron Haslam Race School for the 11th year. The school provides first-rate teaching and uses the Battlax BT-014 tyre because of its all-round performance at high speed without compromising grip or control).
Superbike:
"The CBR100RR felt like it was going to lean forever, helped no end by the frankly awesome BT-014 tyres… The BT-014 is designed as a road tyre - which makes its performance on the track all the more astonishing."
Ride:
"No-one will be left in any doubt as to the jump in adhesion and stability over the BT-010. While the BT-010 was very good, the BT-014 is a terrific confidence booster."
T.W.O:
"Grip and stability in all conditions is impressive, from the heat of the Fireblade first ride in Arizona, through to the snow of the GSX-R600 launch&hellip The only limiting factor was whatever would touch down first, which was either my boots or the footpegs."
