BT016 Pro Front and rear of the new Battlax BT 016 Pro feature Bridgestone's famous multi-layer compound technology. On two wheels, two different rubber compounds in the 3LC- method (from compound of three layers) are installed: The compound in the center of the tread ensures good transmission of the brake force to the front or high traction and mileage of the rear wheel, the rubber on the shoulder of the tire is responsible for maximum traction in an inclined position. The rubber compounds used in the BT 016 Pro have been completely reconverted and give the BT 016 Pro further improved wet grip while increasing mileage. Here (high silica content in the mixture) and &quotpolymer RC&quot Technology &quotSilica Rich Ex&quot are used. &quotRC Polymer&quot Silica supports the effect and simultaneously controls the temperature-dependent change in the rubber compound. The structure of the front and rear based on Bridgestone's proven HTSPC platform (High Tensile Super Penetrated Hollow) with steel belt MSB (Mono Spiral Belt). Thanks to this structure, the control slides and line fidelity can be optimized when cornering, without having to forego good shock absorption. The increased rigidity of the structure helps to maintain a constant contact patch and stability at high speeds. The profile of the Battlax BT 016 Pro has remained unchanged from the BT 016i
