Bridgestone today announced the launch of its new line of motorcycle tyres engineered to fit many American V-twin motorcycles. The Battlecruise H50 tyre, the first of its kind from Bridgestone, expands the company's motorcycle tyre portfolio with an offering that is specially designed for large displacement cruiser-style bikes.
According to the company, the new Bridgestone Battlecruise H50 tyres offer:
Superb handling with reduced steering effort: The Battlecruise H50 tyre offers a large contact patch and uniform contact pressure, creating high cornering force and resulting in less steering effort and light linear handling.
Strong wet and dry traction: Proven best-in-class tread pattern features central grooves that run circumferentially around the tyre to evacuate water and provide enhanced grip.
Long tread wear: Optimised profiles coupled with newly developed compounds and constructions provide long wear life and lower handlebar vibration to reduce rider fatigue.
Beginning January 2017, the Bridgestone Battlecruise H50 motorcycle tyre will be available in eight sizes for select American V-twin cruiser models. Riders can expect 14 additional sizes for touring-oriented models to come available in early 2018. We can expect Bridgestone India to make these tyres available in India shortly after they hit the international market.
