<\/p>\nBridgestone has launched its new Battlax Sport Touring T32 tyre, the latest in its motorcycle sport touring offering.<\/p>\n
The T32, alongside the dedicated T32GT line-up for middleweight and heavy motorcycles, brings together everything the sport touring category needs in terms of performance, confidence and contact feel in all weather conditions.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Bridgestone says one of the Battlax Sport Touring T32\u2019s standout benefits is its improved overall wet performance versus its predecessor, the Battlax Sport Touring T31. This is thanks to several new and innovative features in the tyre\u2019s design and compound technology.<\/p>\n
The tyre applies Bridgestone\u2019s state of the art ‘Pulse Groove Pattern Technology’, which combines pulse-shaped grooves with small centre deflectors to equalise waterflow in comparison with a straight groove and optimise the waterflow\u2019s speed. This in turn helps improve water channelling and drainage across the tyre, which enhances grip and adhesion and reduces the tyre\u2019s slip ratio in wet and difficult conditions.<\/p>\n
The impact of Bridgestone\u2019s Pulse Groove Pattern Technology on the Battlax Sport Touring T32\u2019s wet weather performance is complemented by enhancements in the tyre\u2019s pattern design from its predecessor. Increased groove ratios, combined with optimised groove angles, groove positioning and pattern stiffness, plus a 13 per cent contact patch increase rear, deliver an increased overall contact area and connection to the road \u2013 with improved neutral and linear handling behaviour \u2013 that enhances overall performance in the wet.<\/p>\n
The Battlax Sport Touring T32\u2019s wet weather accolades unite to give the tyre a wet braking performance that is seven per cent shorter than its predecessor, with no sacrifice on wear life.<\/p>\n
The technical upgrades on the Battlax Sport Touring T32 are not only visual. Tremendous efforts in terms of construction and compound combination give the sport touring tyre outstanding handling capabilities in the dry and wet, plus excellent high speed, straight and cornering stability.<\/p>\n

For middleweight and heavy touring motorcycles, Bridgestone has developed a fully dedicated Battlax Sport Touring T32GT tyre, with technical features and a pattern design in line with the requirements for this very specific motorcycle category.<\/p>\n
The GT version also incorporates Bridgestone\u2019s state of the art Pulse Groove Pattern Technology, alongside an optimised groove positioning and construction for the optimal pattern stiffness required for middleweight and heavy motorcycles. These benefits, amongst other performance features, enable an improved wet performance and grip from the Battlax Sport Touring T31, plus a 10 per cent increase in wear life from the predecessor.<\/p>\n
Bridgestone\u2019s Battlax Sport Touring T32 offers full size line-up for the sport touring category. The T32 and T32GT will be available on the market in early 2021.<\/p>\n
Nico Thuy, head of Motorcycle at Bridgestone EMIA said: \u201cBattlax\u2019s next-generation sport touring tyres, the T32 and T32GT, are the result of technical expertise and technological applications that are at the forefront of tyre development.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy significantly enhancing the tyre\u2019s connection with the road from the T31, we have created a tyre that delivers incredible performance even in poor conditions.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe wanted to give riders more control and confidence in the wet and this tyre delivers exactly that. It\u2019s great also that we\u2019re able to bring its benefits to more motorcyclists by expanding to GT.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
