Battlax BT-011

More grip without the loss of handling; the new Battlax BT-011 is Bridgestone's answer to this perpetual challenge. Designed with the latest tyre developing technologies, Battlax BT011 is part of the next generation Battlax line by pushing the perimeter of performance criterion - grip, handling, high-speed stability, wet performance, and balance. BT-011: the new standard for 21st century.
TECHNICAL INDEX
Compound
Developed for this line, the new Silica compound of BT-011 provides improved and exceptional grip level on both dry and wet surface without sacrificing high-speed durability.
Profile
The optimised BT011 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).
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.
