po18guy Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 For classic sport bikes and sport-touring bikes, Bridgestone has long offered the BT45 Battlax, a tire (tyre) which has always been highly rated. However, after almost two decades, Bridgestone has updated the tire with a new compound and slightly modified tread pattern. Rain performance is said to be substantially improved, while dry traction remains the same. Fairly obviously, the new offering is called the BT46. I see from their intro page that they do have excellent taste in classic sport bikes. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gio Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Interesting - the BT45 is a popular choice for the old K75 ... although I prefer Pirelli (Sport Demons). Avon also just announced a Mk2 version of their AM-26 also. Thanks for this - and yes, excellent taste in classic bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewgnu Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Does anyone fit the battlax’s on their v11? I used to use them on my old w650 and they were great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I recently fitted my first non-Pirelli to that Sport (rear): Battlax Sport Touring T31R. So far, so good. I've long been fond saying, "If I don't like it, it'll be gone soon anyway." Very interesting the classic style of the BT46 . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
