Description
Front-end feel on an older sport or touring bike lives or dies by tire choice, and the BT46F was engineered to give that feel back without forcing you into a radial that never belonged on the bike anyway. Sized 3.25-19 with a 54H load/speed rating, this Battlax BT46F is a tubeless (TL) front tire built for the exact fitment window Bridgestone specified when this tire replaced the BT45 in the lineup. It carries the bias-ply DNA that vintage sport and touring frames were engineered around, so the front end tracks the way the bike was designed to track rather than fighting a modern radial’s stiffer feel.
- Load rating of 54 is matched to the weight expectations of the sport and touring class this tire serves
- Rounded profile supports smooth transitions from upright cruising to mid-corner lean without abrupt steps in grip
- Updated tread compound over the outgoing BT45 improves wet and dry grip without changing the tire’s handling manners
- Speed rating of H supports sustained highway use up to 130 mph (210 km/h)
- Compound formulated to resist hardening and cracking better than older-generation vintage tire options
- Tubeless (TL) design simplifies mounting and sealing on compatible rims without the added complexity of a tube
Check your owner’s manual or the tire placard for a 3.25-19 front spec before buying, since the BT46F is a tubeless-rated (TL) tire meant to be run without a tube on compatible rims.
