Bridgestone Racing Battlax V03 in detail

The new Bridgestone Racing Battlax V03 is equipped with new generation compounds based on a technology that has continually triumphed in the world’s highest level races, including the FIM Endurance World Championship, won by a team with Bridgestone tires for five consecutive years.

The tire applies a completely redesigned profile for both the front and rear tires, which results in a larger contact surface. Specifically, the rear tire adopts advanced production techniques, achieving an optimal profile that significantly improves lap times.

Thanks to these innovations, the Bridgestone Racing Battlax V03 offers unprecedented grip, significantly reducing lap times compared to its predecessor, the Racing Battlax V02. Comparing the performance of the Soft compound of both models, the Racing Battlax V03 reduces lap times by 1.3% per lap, maintaining the brand’s signature high-grip DNA even after multiple laps.

With this new launch, Bridgestone introduces its first “Sprint spec” rear tire, offering the highest levels of grip of the Racing Battlax V03. By focusing on maximizing grip performance through advanced compound design, the new Bridgestone Racing Battlax V03 Sprint achieves a 1.9% reduction in track lap times compared to the Racing Battlax V02 Soft.

This makes it the optimal choice for riders seeking the highest levels of grip or competing in drag racing. Bridgestone, guided by its founding principle “Tires carry life”positions its motorsport activities as a “mobile laboratory” which represents a “challenge for excellence”.

For its next generation of Racing Battlax tires, the company incorporates Bridgestone’s best-in-class compounding and manufacturing technologies, developed through the refinement of track tires for commercial tires.
