BATTLAX SPORT TOURING T32
The T32 takes a leap
forward in motorcycle tyre technology, offering innovative new tread design
and rubber compounds. The results provide sport touring riders with the
confidence to travel endlessly, rain or shine.
- Evacuates
water more effectively with a new tread pattern featuring PULSE GROOVE
TECHNOLOGY™ and Silica Rich compounds
- Increased
cornering grip and improved feel from larger adhesion area provided by a
13% larger rear contact patch
- 7% shorter wet stopping distance with
no sacrifice in wear life
- Specific GT spec options for heavier
bikes provides additional stability and 10% more wear
life
*Comparisons based on Battlax T32 tyre versus Bridgestone
Battlax T31 tyre from internal testing. Results may
vary.
Pulse Groove
Improved water channelling
and drainage resulting in enhanced grip and reduced tyre slip ratio in wet
conditions. Pulse Groove Technology works by combining pulse-shaped grooves
with small centre deflectors to equalise water flow, which optimises water
flow speed compared to a straight groove.
Silica Rich (Front
Only)
Silica Rich Compound provides enhanced gripping
capability in wet conditions and low temperatures. It also provides a more
consistent and longer-lasting grip.
Silica Rich Ex (Rear
Only)
Performance in wet conditions is improved by
increasing the amount of silica compared to conventional SILICA
RICH.
3LX+ Cap & Base (Rear Only)
The
CAP&BASE construction divides the shoulder of the compound of the tyre
into upper and lower sections. By using a high grip compound for the upper
section of the shoulder, and a high stability abrasion-resistant compound
for the lower and central sections, this provides the desired combination
of both performance and mileage.
RC Polymer
RC
Polymer technology optimises the distribution of silica within 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
NanoPro-Tech is the name
of a technology that facilitates the realisation of the required features
in a tyre by controlling the material microstructure through structural
design at the molecular level. It is one of Bridgestone’s fundamental
technologies.
MS Belt
MSB construction means
that a continuous single strand is wrapped around the circumference of the
tyre. This one-piece construction eliminates overlapping of belts, seams,
and joints. An MSB tyre is lighter than conventional multi-cross belt
construction, it also has more stability since it minimises heat generation
inside the tyre and gives high shock
absorption.
HTSPC
Bridgestone was the very
first motorcycle tyre manufacturer to utilise 1X5 filament rubber insulated
steel (MSB) in the manufacture of its motorcycle radial tyres. This makes
the tyre more flexible, provides more stability without a reduction in
shock absorption and minimises the generation of heat throughout the
tyre.
