Bridgestone is proud to present its M203/M204 motocross tyre: The one-way pattern of the tread of the front tyre M203 maximises linear grip and the reaction to the brake and acceleration while improving the feeling of contact, providing a superior reliability and control. Thanks to better shock absorption and an optimised feeling of contact , motorcyclists have more choice in how to approach the road, especially when negotiating corners or avoiding obstacles. Thanks to improved grip and traction, the tyres are suitable for the power of the current 4 stroke engines.
