The new Battlax BT-012 is the latest Z-rated radial tyre designed to maximize the sport performance for normal street conditions without sacrificing tyre life and safety. Equipped with the latest Bridgestone technologies and building on the characteristics of the BT-010, the Battlax BT-012 complements today's hyper-sports motorcycles with all the tyre performance needed.

TECHNICAL INDEX

Compound
Developed for this line, the new Silica compound of BT-012 provides improved and exceptional grip level on both dry and wet surface without sacrificing high-speed durability.

Profile
The optimised BT-012 profile offers maximum and constant contact pressure at all lean angles, thereby improving both grip and handling. This was only possible with the complex optimisation of the 3D-CTDM program, perhaps the most advanced and complex computer program used today. After a dynamic three-dimensional analysis, the 3D CTDM maximises lateral stiffness (grip) and maintains uniform contact pressure at all camber angles (neutral handling).

Construction
Mono Spiral Belt construction in rear tyres for shock absorption and high-speed stability

Pattern
The front tread pattern has been developed utilising another of Bridgestone's advanced digital technology programs: a hydro-planing simulation program.All grooves are designed to dispel water in the most efficient manner. The front tyre "blocks" form unbroken and continuous contact with the surface. Together with the 3D-CTDM designed profile, this unique front pattern solves handling or grip problems. The aggressive rear pattern offers traction in corners. The main diagonal groove gives optimum rigidity and efficient heat emission, for better high-speed durability.
