At DMG Motorsports, we present the Bridgestone Battlax BT46 Front Tire (100/90-16 54H, Bias, TL, part #12325) — the successor to the legendary BT45 and Bridgestone's premier bias-ply tire built specifically for vintage sport and touring motorcycles. Upgrading an icon is never easy. The BT46 replaces the BT45 as Bridgestone's premier Bias-Ply vintage sport and touring tire. The BT46 improves wet grip without sacrificing wear life or handling characteristics. Whether you're restoring a classic or keeping your vintage-styled machine on the road for miles of touring and spirited riding, this tubeless front tire pairs old-school looks with genuinely modern rubber technology.

Bridgestone engineered the BT46 using its latest compound science to give classic bikes a noticeable upgrade in wet-weather confidence. Using "Silica Rich EX" technology, performance in wet conditions is improved by increasing the amount of silica. This grippy compound is then processed further using Bridgestone's RC Polymer construction method to optimize the distribution of silica within the rubber compound, improving tread flexibility and allowing greater contact with the road surface in both hot and cold conditions. The result is a tire that upgrades wet performance from the BT-45, with no impact on the predecessor's well known dry handling performance and wear resistance.
