Bridgestone has combined its top MotoGP construction design with its latest multi-compound technology from Straight and Cornering Technology (SACT) to produce a sport tire that gives high-level grip performance in braking, cornering and acceleration.

The BT-003 rear tire also features Bridgestone's DTC technology. The center compound gives good stability and higher mileage, while the shoulder compound transfers the engine power to the road with strong traction and provides strong side grip and a massive contact feeling at deep lean angles. The line holding feels almost like riding on a rail. The 140, 150 and 160 rears have Triple Tread Compound, as was first used in teh Battlax BT-016.

Rear construction is based on Bridgestone's proven High Tensile Super Penetrated Cord (HTSPC) platform with steel Mono Spiral Belt (MSB). This one-piece construction enhances slide contrallability and line-holding through corners, while providing good shock absorption. The increased compression stiffness it produces hels to maintain a uniform contact patch and stability at high speeds.

Noticeable S-shaped grooves in the center tread area provide increased contact feel and precise cornering ability. Also, wide lug grooves placed from the center to the shoulder tread area enhance drainage and wet performance for practical road use.

This is an excellent application for aggressive street riders and occasional track days.
