The Battlax BT-023 replaces the BT-021, and the Japanese manufacturer reports that the new tyre offers a significant upgrade in mileage and wet performance compared with its predecessor, as well as by meeting the handling expectations of the most demanding sport riders. All in all, adds Bridgestone, the BT-023 provides a wider range of choices for larger bikes by delivering consistent high-level touring and sport riding performance.

Nachdem letzte Jahr Bridgestone ihren Tourensport Vorderreifen 120/70ZR 7 BT021 wegen zu geringer Laufleistung nachbessern musste, siehe Meldung >> sind jetzt zwei weitere Größen dran.
120/60ZR17 und 110/70ZR17 Auch hier werden die ausgelieferten Motorradreifen 2009 mehr Profil aufweisen. Beim Kauf darauf achten, da es es wie beim 120/70 - erhebliche Preisunterschiede geben wird.
Bridgestone’s new Battlax BT-028 radials will be the only original fitment on the new Yamaha VMAX when the power cruiser hits the street in 2009.
The machine will be riding on 120/70 R18 (59V) on the front and 200/50 R18 (76V) on the rear.
The front tyre features a multi-cross belt construction with a compound chosen for light handling and longer wear life for touring sport. Optimisation of the pattern, compound and construction gives the front tyre a light and neutral handling character, making it easier to control big and powerful bikes.
Hiroshi Yamada, manager of Bridgestone‘s Motorcycle Sport department, is sure to be a very busy man in 2007. Supplying the rubber for Ducati Marlboro, Gresini Honda, Kawasaki Racing, Pramac dAntin and Rizla Suzuki means that he has five teams and four different manufacturers to work with during a season in which Bridgestone have to make their own, specific adaptations to historic shift from 990cc bikes to the new, smaller SOOcc prototypes. With this comes the added responsibility of adapting to particular individual demands, although Yamada is confident of finding a solution for everyone.
“Generally, our plan has been focused on getting the direction of tyre construction correct, but now we will be starting to adapt the tyre to meet the requirements of each of our teams. Some riders still require additional support to have tyres that work with their riding style. We can only offer reassurances at this early stage that we will do everything to fulfil our teams‘ and riders‘ requests,“ he commented after last week‘s Official Test in Qatar.
