Bridgestone has developed a new-generation hypersport tyre exclusively for the stunning Ducati Desmosedici Racing Replica. Named after Bridgestone’s first Battlax motorcycle radial launched back in 1983, the new BT-01 brings extreme performance to a thrilling street machine.

The motorcycle is a true replica of the Desmosedici GP6 which Loris Capirossi rode so successfully on Bridgestone tyres to 8 podiums and 3 victories in 2006.

Unsurprisingly, the specifications from Ducati were particularly demanding when the project started in 2005, Bridgestone’s first year as tyre supplier to the Italian MotoGP team.

The first thing Ducati wanted was a tyre with dimensions and aspect ratio as close as possible to the MotoGP race tyre, in addition to a unique new pattern design, soft compound, ZR speed rating and the level of wet performance demanded by hypersport tyres.

Since the 16.5” profile of MotoGP tyres is not homologated by ETRTO for road use, Bridgestone engineers opted for 17” front tyres (120/70ZR 17M/C) and 16” on the rear (200/55ZR 16M/C) with a lower 55 aspect ratio, after conducting studies on chassis clearance to determine the most suitable sizes.

Riding stability and comfort - with good contact feel and linear but light handling - are provided by Bridgestone’s proven mono-spiral belt construction in the front tyre. The rear tyre, with Kevlar steel mono-spiral belt and single nylon ply provides the necessary controllability, with light handling and plenty of feedback to the rider.

The special tread compound developed from Bridgestone MotoGP technology uses new chemicals that produce higher grip than other compounds used for street tyres, while maintaining the required light handling.

The groove placement and void ratio of the BT-01 tread have been optimized to produce maximum grip in dry and wet conditions. The front pattern design with shoulder grooves that run parallel to the direction of the input force ensures plenty of cornering grip, while the large contact area of the rear tread gives strong grip in a horizontal direction. The high rigidity of the centre area in the circumferential direction effectively transfers the braking force to the road on the front tyre, and the tremendous acceleration and power of the V4 engine to the road via the rear tyre.

Complementing the fantastic good-looks of the Desmosedici RR, this Bridgestone Battlax carries a “UNO” logo – referring to BT-01 – and dynamic graphics on the sidewall symbolising the wind rushing over the fairing and driver’s shoulder
