Let's take a quick look back at Bridgestone and BATTLAX's history in motor sports.
From Motorcycle Development to Entry to All-Japan Challenge to Gain a Foothold in the World
Bridgestone entered the motorcycle market in 1964 and began developing the OETire at the same time..
In 1983, launched the BATTLAXBrand and boldly took on the challenge of keeping pace with the rise of MotorcycleRace in Japan..
We have shifted from Bias's RACINGTire to Radial and won the All-Japan Champion in the medium Engine Displacement Volume category, which gave us a solid response..

FOR JAPAN MODEL to the world - with our own technology and human power
Bouncing back from adversity and steadily establishing positioning
In 1987, Bridgestone won the Champion in the FOR JAPAN MODELGP 250cc class and started to challenge the LargeEngine Displacement Volume with its solid technical capabilities. However, Bridgestone, a latecomer in the LargeEngine Displacement Volume class, faced an uphill battle..
However, we never gave up and continued to develop and challenge ourselves, steadily evolving..

In 1991, the challenge to the world started with GP125cc.. He is determined to win against the best in the world and aspires to "someday compete in the highest class"..
"If you're going to go for it, go for the pinnacle of the pinnacle of the pinnacle of the pinnacle of the pinnacle of the Class.".
With noble aspirations, he has pushed forward and won the World Champion title!
He was aiming to compete in the full 250cc world Grand Prix, but was ordered by the company to "aim for the top if you want to win," so he entered the highest class, where European tire makers were overwhelmingly dominant..
In 2003, he won the World Champion title just four years after his first victory, and he continued to support the world's best from the feet up until 2015..

In the Suzuka 8-hour endurance road race, he has won consecutive victories since his first victory in 2006, and in the JSB1000 Class, the highest class of the FOR JAPAN MODEL, he has broken the record of consecutive Champion since 2010..
From the time when people used to say, "You can't win with Bridgestone," to the time when people said, "You can't win without Bridgestone..

Today, we support motor sports such as the "FIM World Endurance Championship (EWC)" and the "MFJ All Japan Road Race Championship", and we also strive to improve our technology to pursue the limit performance of tires through these events..
