Advanced technologies from international top-level racing
The Racing Battlax V03 is based on technologies that Bridgestone has continuously developed over many years in international motorsports, including the FIM Endurance World Championship. This experience is reflected in the tire’s newly designed compound, which, according to the manufacturer, is designed to provide an exceptionally high level of grip. According to Bridgestone, all titles in this racing series have been won by teams using Bridgestone tires over the past five years.
Revised construction for more contact with the track
Both the front and rear wheels of the Racing Battlax V03 feature a revised design. An enlarged contact patch is intended to improve the handling of both tires. The rear tire in particular benefits from new manufacturing technologies that optimize the tread pattern and are designed to deliver significantly faster lap times.
Internal company comparisons have shown that the Racing Battlax V03 significantly reduces lap times compared to its predecessor, the Racing Battlax V02 with soft compound. According to Bridgestone, the well-known stability of the grip performance is maintained even over longer race distances.
New SPRINT specification for sprint races
With the new Racing Battlax V03, Bridgestone is introducing a “SPRINT” version of the rear tire for the first time. This special specification is optimized for use in sprint races and, according to the manufacturer, offers the highest level of grip within the V03 series. The innovative rubber compound of the SPRINT tire enables even better lap times than the previous Racing Battlax V02 with soft compound. The new SPRINT rear tire is therefore specifically aimed at racers who are looking for maximum performance in sprint racing conditions.
Motorsport as a mobile laboratory for further development
Bridgestone describes motorsport as a “mobile laboratory” in which innovative compound and manufacturing technologies are continuously developed. These technologies are then integrated into series products such as the Racing Battlax V03. Bridgestone is thus positioning the new racing tire as the flagship of a new generation in the company’s portfolio.
Commitment to safety and riding pleasure
The company sees itself as responsible for promoting a safe and inspiring motorcycle culture. With premium tires such as the Racing Battlax V03, Bridgestone aims to build trust and convey riding pleasure. This commitment is part of Bridgestone’s “E8 Commitment” and stands in particular for the guiding principle of “Emotion,” which is intended to emphasize joy and enthusiasm for mobility.
