[Avon Cobra] Bridgestone Battlax BT-023
Sport-Touring Battlax BT-023 The Battlax line is belted, features dual-compound tread and is designed for good bump absorption for increased comfort. These factors are intended to blend the long wear life and wet performance of a touring tire with high-performance abilities that are similar to those of a sport tire. The BT-023 is also designed to deliver this consistent performance on today’s heavyweight bikes and features a new tread pattern that combines an angle groove with an A-groove and a T-groove to deliver good wear, braking and handling characteristics, along with new compounding to complement its belted design. Other: The Battlax BT-020 is designed for the touring-oriented sport rider, while the BT-021 is designed to feel like a sport tire on winding roads. motorcycle-karttires.com
