The latest addition to Bridgestone’s motorcycle tyre range incorporates technologies refined through years of success in the world’s most prestigious racing events, delivering exceptional grip. And, for the first time, Bridgestone introduces a rear ‘SPRINT spec’, providing a wide range of options according to race type and track conditions. 

The new Bridgestone RACING BATTLAX V03 is equipped with newly-developed compounds based on technology that has continuously triumphed in the world’s top-tier races – including the FIM Endurance World Championship, which has been won by a Bridgestone-supplied team for five consecutive years.

The tyre applies a completely redesigned profile for both the front and rear tyres, resulting in an increased contact area. In particular, the rear tyre adopts advanced production techniques, achieving an optimal profile that significantly improves lap times.

Thanks to these innovations, the Bridgestone RACING BATTLAX V03 delivers overwhelming grip, significantly reducing lap times when compared to its predecessor, the RACING BATTLAX V02. Comparing the SOFT compound performances of both tyres, the RACING BATTLAX V03 reduces lap times by 1.3 per cent per lap – while still maintaining the typical Bridgestone DNA of high grip even after multiple laps.

Newly Developed Rear ‘SPRINT spec’ for Maximum Performance in Sprint Races

With this new release, Bridgestone is launching its first-ever rear ‘SPRINT spec’ tyre, providing the RACING BATTLAX V03’s highest grip levels.

By focusing on maximising peak grip performance through advanced compound design, the new Bridgestone RACING BATTLAX V03 SPRINT achieves a 1.9 per cent reduction in lap times per circuit compared to the RACING BATTLAX V02 SOFT. This provides an optimal choice for riders looking for the highest grip levels or those competing in sprint races.

Bridgestone, guided by its fundamental principle ‘tyres carry life’, positions its motorsports activities as a ‘mobile laboratory’ that represents a ‘challenge for excellence’. For its next generation of RACING BATTLAX tyres, the company incorporates Bridgestone’s absolute best compounding and manufacturing technologies developed through track tyre development into commercial tyres. The new RACING BATTLAX V03 serves as the premium flagship model that symbolises this new era of Bridgestone’s motorcycle racing tyres.
