The Bridgestone Battlax BT46R rear tire brings classic bias-ply design to vintage sport and touring bikes, replacing the BT45 as Bridgestone's premier choice. Its updated silica compound maximizes performance, grip and wear, while MS-Belt construction keeps the tire lightweight and stable. One-piece construction eliminates belt overlaps and seams for a smoother, more predictable ride.
Pulse-shaped grooves with small center deflectors channel water efficiently, reducing slip and enhancing traction in wet conditions. The center compound delivers precise linear handling and the shoulder compound locks in grip for confident cornering and a solid connection with the road.
