The Bridgestone Battlax Racing V02 (Slick) is a competition-focused tire engineered for the demanding environment of the racetrack. Designed without compromise, this tire caters to serious track day enthusiasts and competitive racers seeking maximum performance. It is a flagship, non-DOT racing tire.
The V02 prioritizes exceptional grip and precise handling. Its primary design objective centers around delivering faster lap times through enhanced cornering stability and confident control at high camber angles. The soft compound provides superior traction on dry surfaces. Minimal slip design allows for a softer compound, enhancing grip throughout the temperature range.
While specific construction details are proprietary, the Battlax Racing V02 incorporates technologies to optimize the contact patch, promoting increased grip and even wear. Features such as the GP-Belt on the rear tire contribute to a larger contact area, further improving grip and tire wear. The Mono Spiral Belt (MS-BELT) construction minimizes internal friction for greater stability and consistency. The V02 "NS Spec" (certain sizes) has an improved contact patch across lean angles for improved stability and cornering grip. The tire is constructed to warm up quickly and maintain consistent performance under extreme stress.
In its category, the Battlax Racing V02 stands out as a top-tier racing slick, delivering a combination of outright grip, stability, and predictable handling. It is designed for riders who demand the highest levels of performance and are willing to prioritize track-focused characteristics. Tire warmers are recommended to maximize the tire's potential.
