There are no bad rides, only bad weather… until now. The worse the conditions get, the better the next generation of Bridgestone Battlax tires perform, particularly the new Sport Touring T32 tire. A bigger contact patch and patented “Pulse Groove Technology” offer significant upgrades in wet weather performance without sacrificing tread life.
“Battlax’s next-generation sport touring tires, the T32 tire and T32GT tire are the result of Bridgestone’s technical expertise and commitment to continually improve tire development,” said Jared Williams, general manager, Bridgestone Motorcycle Tire Business in the United States and Canada. “By significantly enhancing the tire’s connection with the road, the T32 tire delivers incredible performance, even in poor weather conditions, giving riders more control and confidence in the wet. These benefits are also found in the GT tire line, allowing this technology to reach more motorcyclists.”
According to Williams, the Pulse Groove Technology combines pulse-shaped grooves with small center deflectors to equalize water flow while the straight grooves optimize the water flow’s speed. This combination helps improve water channeling and drainage across the surface of the tire, which enhances grip and adhesion in wet conditions. A 13% larger contact patch on the rear tire to increase overall contact area and connection to the road compared to its predecessor.
