Bridgestone presents the Battlax Racing R11 SOFT tyre:

Product concept:

• Enhancing the rider's feel on the track through the tyre's behaviour, challenging the clock, lap after lap, in all conditions.
  

Technical objectives:

• The R11 benefits from scientific and technological advancements gained in recent years at the highest level of competition and incorporates Bridgestone's DNA to offer the most comprehensive range of performance.
  

Focus on:

• Profile
• Confidence building
• Stability and grip
  

Technical elements:

• New compound and construction
• Innovative profile
  

Results:

• Innovative profile positioning to: maximise tread rigidity in corners
• Achieve optimal deformation to improve warm-up time
• Ensure maximum contact during acceleration phase
  

Rear tyre characteristics:

• GP BELT: Derived from Bridgestone slicks (V02) with proven results, the GP belt optimises pressure uniformity on the contact surface
• Additional belt complementing the V-MSB
• New evolving mono-spiral belt: Optimises the spacing of the HTSPC system of wrapped steel monofilaments
• Optimises the rigidity of the entire tread
• Optimises the space between the shoulder and the centre of the rear tyre tread, combined with greater spacing in the traction zone, for controlled deformation.
  

Advantages:

• Consistency of performance throughout the tyre's lifespan
• Superior traction power
• More grip in all phases (pushing the limits of the friction circle)
