It delivers better contact feel, better feedback, better stability and better mileage… not to mention significant noise reduction. In a nutshell, no matter how you ride, the BT-016 is built to help you ride better. Ok, that’s what it does, but how does it do it? First off we’ve combined our MotoGP construction technology with our SACT compound technology, to deliver optimum grip when braking, cornering and accelerating. Like riding on rails The BT-016 front tyre has a three-layer compound, while the rear tyre is the first street tyre to have a five-layer compound. Firstly, there’s a hard compound in the centre tread area for good stability and higher mileage. This is flanked by medium compound on the shoulders, to give the traction you need to transfer your engine power to the road surface. Last, but by no means least, a soft compound on the edges delivers strong side grip and a massive feeling of contact when you’ve got the bike cranked all the way over. Heard the expression ‘like riding on rails’? Welcome aboard! We could bang on more about High Tensile Super Penetrated cord*, Mono Spiral Belts*, lower void ratios and a whole bunch of other techy type stuff. But, hey, d’you wanna talk or ride?! BT-016. No hype, just hypersport Check out the fitment for your bike. Fast Bikes “One day, we’ll look back and laugh at the days when tyres were made of single compound. We’ll probably also acknowledge the Bridgestone BT-016 as pivotal in the transition between the intolerance and acceptance of compromise.”
