The Bridgestone Battlax BT-020 motorcycle tire has been on the domestic market for several years, which in no way has affected its popularity, remaining at a very high level. This model is in demand among owners of "mid-cubic" sports bikes, for which it was actually developed. In addition, the tire is distinguished by the wide application of a number of proprietary technologies, which will be discussed below.
3D CTDM
This complex abbreviation implies a comprehensive approach to tire development, involving the widespread use of automated design tools, including 3D modeling, which has replaced millions of kilometers of real tests. As for the practical results of the application of this technology, the front tire is distinguished by increased stability at high speeds with minimal vibrations. At the same time, the rear tire was created with the need to ensure maximum grip when cornering and stable handling in any driving mode.
In addition, the profiles of both the front and rear tires allow the biker to quickly and easily lean into fast corners. At the same time, the tread has the same stiffness in all areas, due to which the handling remains reliable and stable, which significantly simplifies the process of managing the motorcycle.
HTSPC
The HTSPC technology involves the use of 5 steel wires when winding the carcass. At the time of creation of this model, only Bridgestone practiced this method. Thanks to this, the steel cord of the tire provided a smooth and stable elasticity in all areas of the tread. As a result, the contact patch sizes remained unchanged in any road conditions, which, in turn, allowed the Bridgestone Battlax BT-020 tire to demonstrate precise and predictable reactions. It is also worth noting such a design feature of the metal cord as a rubber shell, inside which it is located. With the help of this solution, Japanese tire manufacturers were able to minimize the likelihood of corrosion and significantly reduce heat generation. As a result - a longer service life.
MS-BELT
The MS-BELT technology is also one of the latest developments of the Japanese tire giant. It represents a seamless winding of steel wires of the metal cord. This method is applied only to the rear tires of the Battlax. Thanks to this, it is possible to create a solid structure that is distinguished not only by its strength but also by its lower weight compared to traditional winding methods.
Main features of the Bridgestone Battlax BT-020 motorcycle tire
- excellent performance in any conditions combined with a high level of comfort, thanks to three-dimensional modeling technology;
- stable and reliable behavior, thanks to the use of technical solutions from the world of sports;
- precise and extremely fast reactions, thanks to the same stiffness in all areas of the tire;
- excellent traction is provided by an aggressive tread pattern and a high-tech tire design.
