Bridgestone Motorcycle tire T33 160/70 ZR 17 (73W) TL

Discover the BATTLAX SPORT TOURING T33, a tyre specially designed for the latest generation of Sport Touring motorcycles.

• Increased longevity: +47% compared to its predecessor
• Excellent grip on dry and wet surfaces
• Unique specification, suitable for both light and heavier motorcycles
• Easy handling in all conditions
• A true reliable partner for long-distance and everyday rides

Technologies:

BI-GOMME (3LC) + CAP & BASE

• The Bi-Gomme technology combines a hard rubber in the centre to increase mileage and a softer rubber on the shoulders to improve grip when cornering.
• The Cap & Base system enhances the rigidity of the tread, optimising grip and shock absorption.

ULTIMAT EYE

• A measurement and simulation technology for the tyre contact patch. It optimises the interaction between the tyre and the road, reducing slip risks while enhancing both grip and longevity.

MONO SPIRAL BELT

• Made of lightweight, durable filaments wrapped around the tyre, it ensures a consistent grip feel. This technology reduces weight, improves adherence, stabilises high-speed performance, and offers better cushioning.

NANOPRO-TECH™

• This technology optimises the molecular structure of the tyre, enhancing the bond between rubber and silica molecules. It reduces friction, heat, and tread deformation, thus increasing grip and mileage.

RC POLYMER

• Optimisation of the silica distribution in the rubber compound, improving the resistance of the tread. This technology enhances performance on wet surfaces while optimising mileage.

SILICA RICH (rear tyre)

• The addition of silica in the rubber compound allows for exceptional grip in cold and wet conditions, providing excellent performance on wet surfaces and at the start of a journey, before the tyre reaches its optimal temperature.

SILICA RICH EX (front tyre)

• The silica content is enhanced to improve wet surface grip, ensuring a safer grip, particularly for the front tyre.

HIGH TENSILE SUPER PENETRATED CORD (HTSPC)

• Composite steel cables coated with high-thermal-conductivity insulated rubber filaments. This technology optimises heat transfer, reducing the risk of blowouts and improving high-speed stability as well as tyre durability.

Benefits and Features

Unprecedented mileage

• The introduction of a new rubber compound for the rear profile, combined with an evolution of the design and tread stiffness, allows for a 47% increase in the lifespan of the T33 compared to its predecessor.

A unique specification for all motorcycles

• Thanks to structural changes made to the construction, particularly at the belt level, the T33 adapts to both light and heavy motorcycles. This new design offers progressive handling and excellent feedback, instilling greater confidence for the rider.

Excellent performance on wet roads

• The T33 improves upon the already remarkable performance of its predecessor on wet surfaces. It requires approximately 10% less steering angle to turn on a wet road. Its advanced construction also helps reduce jolts in the steering. In case of sudden rain, the T33 provides excellent feedback, allowing for confident riding.
