The Bridgestone Battlax BT46 rear motorcycle tire is designed for vintage sport and touring motorcycles that require dependable handling, stable road manners, and a classic bias-ply construction. This rear tire uses a 130/90-17 size with a 68V service rating and tubeless compatibility, making it a suitable replacement for motorcycles specified for this fitment. The Battlax BT46 combines modern tire technology with a design intended to complement the performance and riding characteristics of older sport and touring models.
The rear tire features an updated silica single-compound formulation developed to balance performance, grip, and tread wear. This compound helps provide confident traction across everyday riding conditions while supporting consistent handling through cornering, braking, and highway travel. The tread design is engineered for predictable response and dependable contact with the road, helping riders maintain control during commuting, touring, and recreational use.
As part of the Bridgestone Battlax range, the BT46 is built for riders who want a practical replacement tire without losing the character of a vintage motorcycle. Its bias-ply construction supports the chassis requirements of compatible motorcycles, while the rear-specific design works as part of a properly matched tire setup. Confirm the 130/90-17 68V specification and motorcycle manufacturer requirements before installation. The manufacturer part number is 11620, and the vendor part number is 11620.
