BT010 F & R Sports Radial Created with the latest tyre designing technologies the Battleaxe BT010 delivers the unparalleled balance between excellent grip for street use, easy handling at speed, superb wet performance, high speed stability, riding comfort and straight line stability. Compound Developed for BT010, the new Silica compound of BT010 provides improved and exceptional grip level on both dry and wet surface without sacrificing high speed durability. Profile The optimized BT010 profile offers maximum and constant contact pressure at all lean angles, thereby improving both grip and handling. This was only possible with the complex optimization by 3D-CTDM program, perhaps the most advanced and complex computer program of today. 3D CTDM maximized the lateral stiffness (Grip) and maintain the uniform contact pressure at all camber angles (Neutral handling), after dynamic, three dimensional analysis. Construction Kevler Mono-spiral belt construction in rear tire for shock absorption and high speed stability Pattern Front pattern is architected with another latest digital technology of Bridgestone: hydro-planing simulation program. All grooves are designed and placed to dispel water most efficiently. The "blocks" of front tire form unbroken, continuous contact with surface. Together with 3D-CTDM designed profile, the unique front pattern solves the handling or grip dilemma. The aggressive rear pattern offers traction in corner. The main diagonal groove gives optimum rigidity and efficient heat emission, for better high speed durability.
