Bridgestone Battleaxe.

Post by macamxthe1st »

The Burgman came fitted with Bridgestone Battleaxe tyre's and I have been very impressed with all aspects of their performance in both dry and wet conditions. This afternoon however they performed in a way which totally exceeded my expectations. I rode dowm the A1 today in appalling conditions. Torrential rain, standing water, the full works. The feedback and subsequently the confidence that the Burgman/tyre combination gave was amazing in fact the only limiting factor to my rate of progress was my vision or more to the point, lack of it. Very, very impressed.

I presume we're talking about the TH01s which were OE on the Burgman? I liked them as well on the TMax mk2 and on Burgman - they seemed to work very well on the Burger. On the other hand, whilst they were great in wet and dry, I found them lacking a bit of feel in the merely damp - the new Battlax SCs seem to have fixed that problem on the mk4 Tmax.
