BRIDGESTONE H50 BATTLECRUISE HARLEY (BIAS)
The BRIDGESTONE H50 BATTLECRUISE HARLEY (BIAS) is a cruiser motorcycle tyre built for big-displacement American V-twin cruisers. Bridgestone designed it for relaxed cruising, with long life, smooth handling and comfortable riding as its three key features. It suits Australian riders who want a tyre made for heavier American cruisers and long days in the saddle.
Long Rear Tyre Life
Bridgestone says the H50 rear tyre can last as much as 2.7 times as long as the Exedra Max. Its US page also claims 50 percent better rear tyre wear than the Dunlop D401. The rear has a larger crown profile, which Bridgestone says helps grip and mileage, and it uses a specially developed rubber compound. For riders who cover a lot of kilometres, this makes the H50 a practical choice.
Smooth Handling for Heavy Cruisers
Bridgestone says the H50 lets even bikes of nearly 300 kg turn smoothly at both low and high speeds, with less tendency to fall into turns. The tyre puts a larger contact patch on the road with more even contact pressure, which is said to make handling and cornering easier. Track testing showed much lower force at the handlebar than comparable tyres. On the front, the vertical stiffness is tuned to balance rigidity with shock absorption and damping, so the tyre can deliver high mileage while still absorbing bumps.
Comfort on Long Touring Rides
The H50 reduces the vibration that V-twin engines pass through to the rider. This makes for a more comfortable ride and helps ease fatigue on long touring trips. It is a good match for riders who enjoy high-speed cruising and long-distance rides.
Tread Pattern Made for American V-Twins
The tread pattern is optimised for powerful American V-twins and features a decorative diamond cross groove design. Bridgestone says the tyre handles well on both wet and dry surfaces, with excellent mileage and tread wear.
Developed With Ultimate-EYE Testing
Bridgestone developed the H50 using its Ultimate-EYE testing technology. This shows how a tyre behaves on the road at different speeds, loads and slip angles, on both wet and dry surfaces.
Construction Technology
Bridgestone's technology list for the H50 includes dual compound (cap and base), triple compound, silica-rich rubber, Nanopro-Tech, Pulse Groove, MS-Belt, HTSPC RC polymer, an outside bead filler and a 3-layer cap and base design. Not every feature applies to every size or position, so check the details for your fitment.
Made for Relaxed V-Twin Cruising
Recommended for riders with American OEM cruisers, riders who want smooth control of heavier American cruisers, and riders who enjoy long-distance touring and high-speed cruising. The BRIDGESTONE H50 BATTLECRUISE HARLEY (BIAS) is designed to let you enjoy the laid-back feel of V-twin cruising.
Always confirm the correct tyre size and fitment for your motorcycle before ordering.
