The Bridgestone Battlax BT46 Front is a bias-ply motorcycle tire developed for vintage sport and touring motorcycles. Designed in a 120/80-16 60V fitment, this front tire provides a dependable combination of handling, road contact, and touring capability for riders who want to maintain the character of classic motorcycles while upgrading tire performance. The Battlax BT46 uses a tubeless construction and is engineered for compatible applications requiring a front tire in this size and speed rating.
Bridgestone updates the Battlax BT46 platform with modern tire technology while preserving the fitment and riding characteristics expected from a classic bias-ply design. Its tread and casing are intended to support predictable steering response and stable performance across everyday rides, longer touring routes, and varied pavement conditions. The BT46 front tire is designed to work as part of a matched set, pairing with the rear Battlax BT46, which uses an updated silica single compound to help maximize performance, grip, and wear.
This Bridgestone motorcycle tire is a practical choice for owners of vintage sport and touring models seeking a replacement that balances classic compatibility with current construction standards. Always verify the motorcycle manufacturer’s recommended tire size, load rating, speed rating, and front-wheel application before installation. Professional mounting and balancing are recommended to help ensure proper fitment and reliable handling.
