Description
Bridgestone BT50 – hypersport rear tyre
The Battlax BT50 is a sporting motorcycle tyre designed for accurate control, stable high-speed behaviour and dependable grip in changing road conditions.
- Its compound maintains traction on dry and wet tarmac for reassuring, dynamic riding.
- Straight tread grooves support stability and predictable corner entry.
- Strong feedback at speed makes the BT50 well suited to sporty road motorcycles.
- It is intended for riders who value precise response on winding roads and during faster journeys.
Depending on size and approval, examples include Suzuki RGV 250 Gamma (1988–1990), Yamaha TZR 250 (from 1988) and Yamaha FZR 600 (1989–1993).
The BT50 is principally available in 140/60 ZR18, replacing the earlier BT92 in this fitment. Bridgestone S21–S23 front tyres are recommended as matching options, subject to motorcycle approval.
