Introducing the new and improved touring tyre, the Battlax BT46, designed to replace the legendary Battlax BT45. With over two decades of excellence, the BT45 has been a trusted choice for touring riders. Now, Bridgestone takes it a step further with the BT46, incorporating modern technology and advancements.
The front pattern of the Battlax BT46 features an innovative inverted V-shape design. This intelligent design effectively tackles the working forces exerted on the tyre, resulting in reduced irregular wear and providing riders with exceptional feedback for superior handling and control. The rider can confidently navigate various road conditions with enhanced stability and responsiveness.
The rear tyre of the BT46 is equipped with a newly adapted silica single compound, carefully engineered to maximize performance, grip, and wear. Bridgestone's advanced silica compound technology ensures optimal traction and improved durability, allowing riders to confidently tackle both wet and dry road surfaces. Wet performance has been significantly upgraded from the BT45, without compromising the predecessor's renowned dry handling performance and wear resistance.
Additionally, the Battlax BT46 is compatible with UM (Universal Mounting) application. This means that tubeless marked tyres are approved for mounting on tube-type rims when used with a tube, providing added versatility and convenience for riders.
Bridgestone has developed the Battlax BT46 to cater to a wide range of motorcycles within the touring segment. With a comprehensive selection, the BT46 is available in 21 sizes for the front and 27 sizes for the rear, ensuring compatibility with various touring motorcycles on the market. The tyre will be initially launched in ten main sizes in January, with the full line rolling out in the near future.
With the Battlax BT46, Bridgestone continues its commitment to delivering superior touring tyres that excel in performance, grip, durability, and versatility. Whether you're embarking on long journeys or seeking adventure on the open road, the BT46 is engineered to enhance your touring experience and provide the confidence you need for a smooth and enjoyable ride.
