The tyre technology that carried Casey Stoner and his Ducati safely over the line for 10 outright wins and a total of 13 podium places in 2007 Moto GP is now ready to take to the roads
The new BT-016 provides total handling improvement in all riding modes – with noticeably better contact feel, feedback, stability and grip – as well as longer wear life and lower noise levels.
Maximum grip from MotoGP compound technology
Bridgestone has combined its top MotoGP construction technology with its latest multi-compound technology from SACT (Straight And Cornering Technology) to produce a sport tyre that gives high-level grip performance in braking, cornering and acceleration..
The BT-016 front tyre has a new 3-Layer Compound (3LC): a centre compound for linear handling and longer wear life, flanked by a shoulder compound to secure high grip and a strong contact feeling.
The rear BT-016 tyre features Bridgestone's new 5-Layer Compound (5LC) technology, used for the first time on a street tyre. The centre compound gives good stability and higher mileage; the shoulder compound transfers the engine power to the road with strong traction; while the edge compound provides strong side grip and a massive contact feeling at deep lean angles. The line holding feels almost like riding on a rail.
Improved linear and sporty handling
Front and rear construction is based on Bridgestone's proven HTSPC platform (High Tensile Super Penetrated Cord) with steel MSB (Mono Spiral Belt).
This one-piece construction enhances slide controllability and line-holding through corners, while providing good shock absorption. The increased compression stiffness it produces helps to maintain a uniform contact patch and stability at high speeds.
The front pattern features S-shaped cross diagonal grooves in the centre tread area, for light handling, rich feedback and good wet performance. The rear pattern has L-shaped grooves without cross grooves in the centre, giving stronger traction and lower pattern noise. |
