BT-016 new sport tire designed to maximize the performance of sport bikes on the road today.
-Opportunity for every rider to enjoy Bridgestone’s MotoGP technology.
-Advanced multi-compound technology applied to both front and rear tires offers riders the performance they demand in every riding mode.
-Designed for passionate riders who enjoy cornering with deep lean angles, the newly developed edge compound of the rear tire offers great line-holding performance that feels like riding on rails.
PROGRESSIVE GRIP PERFORMANCE
New multi-compound technology from MotoGP named “3LC” (Dual
Compound) for the front and “5LC” (Triple Compound) for the rear,
delivers grip performance demanded in every aspect — braking,
maximum side grip in cornering, and strong traction out of corners.
PERFORMANCE HANDLING
3LC/5LC technology along with new tread patterns, optimal
profiles and constructions provide linear and high performance
handling for a wide range of sport bikes.
SURE CONTACT FEEL
Newly designed BT-016 is quality engineered for rich feedback
and secure contact feel in all conditions.
STABILITY (high and low speed)
Steel (MS•Belt) construction applied to front and rear
tires absorbs sudden impact from bumps and offers
high stability and tremendous line-holding in
corners.
MILEAGE
3LC/5LC provides consistent wear, while optimized
pattern design provides longer wear life than our
previous sport tire (BT-014) in any riding mode.
LESS NOISE
New pattern design achieves a noticeable reduction in tread noise.
HTSPC (High Tensile Super Penetrated Cord)
Bridgestone is the first motorcycle tire manufacturer
to utilize multi-filament rubber insulated steel
(MS•Belt) in the manufacture of its motorcycle radial
tires. This technology offers many advantages over steel that is
used by the competition. This makes the tire more flexible, provides
more stability without a reduction in bump absorption, and minimizes
the generation of heat throughout the tire.
MS•Belt
Bridgestone is the first motorcycle tire manufacturer

the generation of heat throughout the tire.
Mono Spiral Belt (MSB) construction means that a
continuous single strand is wrapped around the circumference
of the tire. This one-piece construction
eliminates overlapping of belts, seams and joints. A MSB tire is
lighter than conventional multi-cross belt construction. It has
more stability since it minimizes heat generation inside the tire
and provides high bump absorption.
3LC
Bridgestone's Dual Compound Construction is a
process that combines two different rubber compounds
that results in a tire that offers linear handling and
tremendous shoulder grip for aggressive cornering.
5LC
Bridgestone's Dual Compound Construction is a
process that combines two different rubber compounds
that results in a tire that offers linear handling and
tremendous shoulder grip for aggressive cornering.
Bridgestone's Triple Compound Construction is a
process that combines three different rubber compounds
and offers ideal grip performance demanded
in all riding modes. The center compound provides good stability.
The shoulder compound transfers engine power to the road with
strong traction. The edge compound offers strong side grip and
solid contact feel at deep lean angles.
