Battlax BT46 - Your new and improved touring tyre
The Battlax BT46 is set to replace the iconic Battlax BT45. Since its introduction 22 years ago the Battlax BT45 has been the go-to tyre for touring. Now Bridgestone has upgraded this design with modern technology.
The Battlax BT46 features an inverted V-shape in the front pattern - it tackles working forces on the tyre reduces irregular wear and gives the rider incredible feedback for superior handling. The rear tyre is enhanced with a newly adapted silica single compound to maximise performance grip and wear. Wet performance has been upgraded from the BT45 with no impact on the predecessor's well-known dry handling performance and wear resistance. And the BT46 is compatible with UM application: tubeless marked tyres are approved for mounting on tube-type rims if they are used with a tube.
Bridgestone has specially developed this tyre to cover the wide range of motorcycles competing in the touring segment. Available in 21 sizes for the front and 27 sizes for the rear. Ten main sizes will be launched in January with a rollout of the full line to follow soon after.
