January 28, 2025

Bridgestone Corporation Unsponsored ADR will supply "BATTLAX SPORT TOURING T32" tires as factory-installed tires for the newly model-changed sport touring models "TRACER9", "TRACER9 GT", and "TRACER9 GT+" from Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd.

"TRACER9", "TRACER9 GT", and "TRACER9 GT+" are sport touring models equipped with high sportiness and practical features. Among them, the "TRACER9 GT+", which is Yamaha's flagship touring model, is newly equipped with the "Y-AMT (Yamaha Automated Transmission)" automatic transmission that eliminates the need for operating the clutch lever and shift pedal, and significantly reduces operational burden when combined with the function "ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control)" for following preceding vehicles, making for a more comfortable ride as a sport tourer.

For many years, Bridgestone has contributed to realizing the value that Yamaha provides through various vehicles by developing and equipping tires in a spirit of co-creation. The "BATTLAX SPORT TOURING T32" tires that will be fitted to "TRACER9", "TRACER9 GT", and "TRACER9 GT+" are our ultimate product that encapsulates and pursues our high technology. By increasing the adhesive area across the entire contact area, we ensure solid grip and enhance drainage performance with the adoption of the "Pulse Groove", stabilizing the contact patch and improving wet traction performance. Furthermore, by optimizing the internal structure, we enhance the feel of contact on various surfaces, both dry and wet, improving stability and wear resistance required for long touring, and contributing to the performance of the model through enhanced grip in cornering.

Bridgestone positions racing as a "running laboratory" and refines technology honed in the extremes of motorsport for technical development of commercial tires under the concept of "From Circuit to Street". Through motorsport activities, we evolve our ultimate products to the next stage and strengthen our Global Premium Niche Strategy for the motorcycle premium tire business. We also contribute to the development of a safe, secure, and enjoyable motorcycle culture, committing to continually provide "excitement of riding" even in 10 or 20 years, supporting the company commitment "Bridgestone E8 Commitment" which emphasizes "Supporting mobility experiences that move the heart".

■ The factory-installed tire to be supplied is "BATTLAX SPORT TOURING T32".
