Product Description
Bridgestone brings you genuine MotoGP technology for the street with their new Battlax BT-016 Hypersport Performance Tires
  • New multi-compound technology derived from MotoGP delivers the grip performance demanded in every aspect – braking, maximum side grip in cornering, and strong traction at the exit of a corner
  • Front tire features dual compound (3LC) to provide grip in all riding modes. The center compound offers linear handling while the shoulder compound secures high grip and solid contact feeling
  • The front tires parallel S shaped grooves give optimal cornering force to improve stability, linear handling and absorption. Groove location across the tread center secures rich contact feeling and stable wet performance
  • The steel MS-BELT (mono-spiral belt) construction applied to front and rear tires absorbs sudden impact from bumps and offers high stability and tremendous line-holding in corners
  • HTSPC- ( High Tensile Super Penetrated Cord – Mono Spiral Belt ) technology in front and rear tire provides rich contact feel, strong grip and high-speed stability
  • 3D-CTDM ( Comprehensive Tire Design Method ) is advanced tire design technology that enables dynamic, three-dimensional simulations of tire performance at all lean angles
  • Compares to Dunlop Qualifier, Michelin Pilot Power/Pilot Sport HPX, Pirelli Diablo/Rosso, Metzeler Sportec M-3/M-1
  • O.E. replacement sizes available, see tire code reference below
O.E. Tire Size Codes:

Steve Great Neck,  NY Good Tire!!! Got these for my GSXR 07 750 for track days and to replace the OEM tires... As for traction, cornering, and stability lets just say that the tires (and the bike) never enter the picture...i don't even come close to their limits...these tires just so complement the stability and predictability of the 750 gsxr...can't evaluate wet traction since I haven't ridden them yet in wet.

Allan Camarillo,  CA High Performance I just put on a new set on my R6 and did 200 miles on it. So far so good. Excellent traction on straights and corners. Not sure about tread life though.

bill geneseo,  NY excellent tire At first I thought the tires (I got both front and rear) were a bit skittish but then realized it is just very easy to change lines with them. I had grown used to my old tires which required bigger inputs and were very stable in a straight line and less willing to corner. The tires are compliant and do not feel harsh over irregular pavement. The tires are comfortable and confidence inspiring when cornering.
