Sport Motorcycle Tyre

- Amazing cornering speed and edge grip
- 4% faster lap time in the wet
- 3% shorter wet breaking distance
- 8% mileage increase
- The new reference hypersport tyre

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.

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.

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.

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.

MORE CONFIDENT FRONT TYRE GRIP:
Performance in wet conditions is improved by greatly increasing the amount of silica compared to conventional SILICA RICH.

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.

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.
