Technologies

HIGH TENSILE SUPER PENETRATED CORD (HTSPC)

BETTER ALL-AROUND HANDLING

Steel cord material is made of individually rubber insulated inner filaments with high thermal conductivity this to enhance heat transfer and reduce the risk of blowout. The features promote high speed stability, grip, absorption and durability.

MONO SPIRAL (MS) BELT

RUNS COOLER, MORE STABILITY

Lightweight and durable cords, wrapped around the circumference of the tyre to provide a smooth grip feeling. This contributes to high performance with weight reduction, grip improvement, rotational stability, high speed performance and damping effect.

SILICA RICH EX FOR FRONT TYRE

MORE CONFIDENT FRONT TYRE GRIP

Performance in wet conditions is improved by greatly increasing the amount of silica compared to conventional SILICA RICH.

RC POLYMER

MORE CONFIDENT ROAD CONTACT

RC Polymer technology optimizes the distribution of silica in the rubber compound and improves tread flexibility, allowing greater contact with the road surface in both hot and cold conditions. The reduction in molecular friction also improves rolling resistance, therefore increasing fuel economy

NANOPRO-TECH™

STRONGER GRIP, HIGHER MILEAGE

Bridgestone's NanoPro-Tech™ technology optimises tyre performance on a molecular level. This helps reduce friction, heat and tread deformation during tyre rotation, resulting in better tread grip and longer wear life.

3 LAYER COMPOUND (3LC) + CAP & BASE

3LC gives centre-tread mileage and shoulder grip, while the underlying Cap & Base layer enhances tread stiffness for better grip, shock absorption and all-weather performance.

3LC

3-LAYER COMPOUND

Bridgestone's advanced 3-layer compound technology for your front tyre. The dual compound is hard in the tread centre to give you heavy-braking stability, linear handling and high mileage. On the shoulders the compound is soft and sticky for maximum cornering grip ...right up to full lean angle.

PULSE GROOVE

BETTER WET PERFORMANCE

Pattern groove design combining pulse shaped grooves with small centre defelectors. This equalises the waterflow and optimises the flow speed. Resulting in increased water drainage, better grip and adhesion in wet conditions and less slip ratio.

ULTIMATE EYE

Visualisation of the tyre contact patch behavior with measurement and simulation technology. Supplies less slip area for good traction while riding and improves wear life.
