Technologies

V-MS-BELT

Optimisation of the spacing of the MS BELT cords coiled around the tire’s circumference contributes to ideal tire contact properties, as well as enhanced grip and 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.

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.

CAP&BASE

Derived from Bridgestone's MotoGP development, the soft outer (Cap) compound gives you high-level grip. The inner (Base) compound meanwhile is harder, providing optimum stiffness for the tyre. But even as the tread wears down, the harder base compound is not exposed to the road - so you won't get caught out with loss of grip!

UltimatEye

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.

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.

HE MS Belt

High Elongation Mono spiral belt implements a new steel technology with improved elasticity. By shortening the twist pitch, it results in a more equalized contact patch pressure and improved grip.
