Triumph select Bridgestone T-016 for Street Triple
Triumph's best selling bike - the naked 676cc Street Triple - will have Bridgestone's Battlax BT-016 tyre as standard.
The tyre, which successfully transferred Bridgestone's five-layer compound technology, usually used to produce hand-made MotoGP tyres, onto the production line for the first time, has received praise from riders and racers from all backgrounds.

The BT-016 is also a commercial success story, having contributed significantly in driving sales in the hypersport tyre market as well as having OE fitment shares in other high profile brands such as Yamaha, Suzuki and Kawasaki.
Gary Hartshorne, motorcycle sales and technical manager at Bridgestone comments:
"Being chosen as OE on the Street Triple is the icing on the cake for what has been a fantastic year for the Battlax B-016. When we launched the BT-016, we knew it was an exciting development and hoped that the industry and riders would feel the same. The BT-016 is the most technically advanced road and street tyre available on the market and it has more than proved that in its first year."
