With the BATTLECRUISE H50, designed specifically for big-displacement American cruisers, Bridgestone aims to let you fully enjoy the relaxed, laid-back character of V-Twin riding.

By reducing the vibration typically transmitted by V-Twins, the H50 provides a more comfortable ride and helps reduce fatigue, even on long-distance tours.

Its refined handling characteristics allow motorcycles weighing nearly 300 kg to turn smoothly at both low and high speeds, while minimising fall-in tendencies when cornering.

Bridgestone’s top two-wheel tyre technologies

Using the highest quality materials and Bridgestone’s advanced tyre development technologies, the Battlecruise H50 delivers smooth, easy handling, excellent grip in both wet and dry conditions, and long tread life.

To achieve this, Bridgestone turned to its proprietary Ultimate-EYE (U-EYE) technology. U-EYE testing allows engineers to see exactly how a tyre behaves in contact with the road, enabling them to optimise the design for real-world performance.

Specifically, U-EYE provides a detailed picture of the contact patch—where rubber meets the road—and the resulting pressure distribution at various speeds, loads, and slip angles in both wet and dry conditions. The Battlecruise H50 is only the second motorcycle tyre to benefit from U-EYE, following the Battlax Hypersport S21.

Higher cornering power

With the H50 fitted to the front, your heavy V-Twin requires only a light touch through corners. Thanks to U-EYE, the Battlecruise H50 achieves a larger contact patch and more uniform pressure distribution, resulting in easier handling and more precise cornering. Bridgestone track testing shows that the force required at the handlebar with the H50 is significantly lower than with comparable tyres.

Long lasting

V-Twin riders can also enjoy impressive mileage with the H50. Bridgestone’s goal was to deliver a tyre with a significantly longer wear life than other major brands. To achieve this, engineers enlarged the crown profile of the rear tyre and developed a new tread compound.

On long trips, you’ll also appreciate the H50’s excellent vibration damping and shock absorption, achieved by optimising the vertical stiffness of the front tyre for a smoother, more comfortable ride.
