Bridgestone BT-020

Bridgestone BT-020 - Riding comfort, high-speed stability and long mileage are basic "functions", and all are needed in touring type tyres. The brand-new BT-020 cleared every technical high level goal, most notably the unsurpassed wet performance.
But this time, Bridgestone wanted to improve the appearance of its touring tyres plus offer a safe and comfortable feeling for a better experience. BT-020 is Bridgestone's proposal. BT-020: The New Vision of Touring.
In the new Battlax range, CTDM maximizes the horizontal stiffness, and MSB secures vertical cushion.

MS BELT - Underpinning this improvement is the use of a steel Mono Spiral Belt (MSB) construction, with a continuous single cord wrapped around the circumference of the tyre in order to eliminate seams, joints and the overlapping of belts.
While MSB is lighter than a conventional multi-cross belt, it provides greater stability by minimising internal heat generation.
Bridgestone is the first manufacturer to employ five single steel filaments in an MSB cord. The filaments are separated from one another and twisted in a rubber coating that ensures equal and constant tension. Known as ‘High Tensile Super Penetrated Cord' (HTSPC), this technology produces high stiffness combined with flexibility and excellent shock absorption.

TECHNICAL INDEX
 
Compound - The BT54 based Silica compound offers exceptional wet performance and longer mileage.

Profile - Designed with CTDM technology, the larger crown radius and unique anti-shock profile secures improved high-speed stability.

Construction - Bridgestone patented Kevler Mono Spiral Belt for riding comfort.

Pattern - Two centre lines and high-angled grooves effectively remove water.
Also in front, the skilful placements of directional and anti-directional grooves form lug blocks for traction (grip).
Rear tyres offer form and function. The main diagonal grooves remove water, optimise rigidity, and at the same time give an artistic look to the new Battlax. The thin grooves in the tread edge hook in corners and give feedback to drivers during cornering.
