Technical Solutions - Introduction

Battlax BT-021 offers heavier sports touring machines great stability, both in high speed motorway cruising and sporty riding on winding roads, strong grip on wet and dry, with plenty of shock absorption for comfortable long journeys.

It beats BT-020 performance on all major criteria, including higher mileage.

BT-021 is Bridgestone's first to use MSB (Mono Spiral Belt) on both front and rear tyres. With optimal stiffness provided by the HTSPC (High Tensile Super Penetrated Cord), this MSB construction raises stability band shock absorption to the highest levels.

With Bridgestone's new rear tyre SACT (Straight and Cornering Technology) construction with Cap & Base technology and dual-compound tread, provides plenty of cornering control from the high grip shoulder compound.

The firmer centreline and base layer produce the necessary tread stiffness for improved traction and mileage.

Stability and cushioning are enhanced by a newly developed outside bead filler (OBF) in the soft two-ply construction.

The high grip shoulder compound provides confident cornering control, while firmer centre tread adds durability and higher mileage.

Battlax BT-021 is designed to provide the range of heavier motorbikes from 600 cc to 1200 cc, with the highest possible levels of comfort at speed and an exciting feel through corners off the motorway, in all conditions.
