Bridgestone 21246 Battlax Hypersport S23 Motorcycle Tire

The Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S23 is the company's flagship hypersport tire, evolving from the award-winning S22 by delivering improved handling precision, maximum stability and incredible grip, even in wet conditions. This next-generation sport tire allows riders to experience the full extent of the ever-increasing power and performance of modern-day sport bikes on the road.

Key Performance Features:

• Turns faster lap times in both wet and dry track conditions compared to the Battlax S22
• Rear tire lasts 8% longer versus the previous generation Battlax S22
• Elevated performance with heightened levels of grip in both dry and wet conditions, featuring an updated tread pattern and newly formulated compound specifically tailored to meet the demands of contemporary sport bikes
• Five percent higher cornering speed, one percent faster dry lap time, three percent shorter wet braking distance, and four percent faster wet lap time compared to the S22

Advanced Technology:

• Newly designed compound in the edge portion of the tread maximizes edge grip when cornering and allows riders to take their sports riding performance to the next level
• Updated pattern incorporating Pulse Groove technology contributes to impressive wet weather performance
• Maintains the same shape and MS-Belt construction as the S22 but features new compounds and a new tread pattern
• Updated compounds offer increased grip thanks to additional carbon and a newly developed grip improver, with optimized resin components in the front shoulder and rear edge for better grip at high lean angles

The new tread pattern has a higher land-sea ratio (more rubber, fewer grooves) and higher pattern stiffness, contributing to improved handling, dry/wet traction, and feedback. Engineered for increased wet and dry grip, plus cornering stability without compromising wear for more time carving up the road.
