The new hypersport tire BT-016 is designed to maximize the sporty performance of sport bikes on the road today and enables every rider to enjoy our Genuine MotoGP Technology. The advanced multi-compound technology (3LC & 5LC) applied to both front and rear tires offers the rider the performance he demands in every riding mode.

Target Performance

[PROGRESSIVE GRIP PERFORMANCE]
New multi-compound technology from MotoGP named “3LC” (3 Layer Compound) for the front and “5LC” (5 Layer Compound) for the rear delivers the grip performance demanded in every aspect-braking, maximum side grip in cornering, and strong traction at the exit of a corner.

[SPORTY HANDLING]
The 3LC/5LC with new tread pattern on optimal profile and construction provides linear and sporty handling for a range of sport bikes.

[SURE CONTACT FEEL]
The new approach for BT-016 with Quality Engineering contributes to the richer feedback and more secure contact feel in all conditions.

[STABILITY (high and low speed)]
The steel MS-BELT construction applied to front and rear tires absorbs sudden input from bumps and offers high stability and excellent line-holding in corners.

[MILEAGE]
The 3LC/5LC provides regular wear, while optimized pattern design provides much longer wear life than the ex-sport tire (BT-014) in any riding mode.

[LESS NOISE]
The new pattern design achieves a noticeable reduction in tread noise.

Technical Features

Front:
• 3LC (3 Layer Compound) provides grip performance demanded in every aspect and all riding modes. The center compound offers linear handling. The shoulder compound secures high grip and solid contact feeling.

• Parallel S shaped grooves give optimal cornering force to improve stability, linear handling and absorption. Groove location across tread center secures rich contact feeling and stable wet performance.

Rear:
• 5LC (5 Layer Compound) offers ideal grip performance demanded in every riding mode and aspect. The center compound offers good stability. The shoulder compound transfers the engine power to the road with strong traction. The edge compound offers strong side grip and solid contact feeling in deep lean angles.

• L shaped grooves enhance shock absorption and rear-end steering. Groove location not across tread center area provides both wet performance and strong traction. High speed durability is also maximized.
