Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S23 Front 120/70ZR17 58W

Description

The latest in Bridgestone’s BATTLAX line of premium motorcycle tires, the BATTLAX HYPERSPORT S23 features even more exceptional levels of dry grip performance when riding on circuits or cornering on mountain roads.

The BATTLAX HYPERSPORT S23 employs a newly designed compound in the edge portion of the tread that makes contact with the road when banking at sharp angles, maximizing edge grip when cornering, and allowing riders to take their sports riding performance to the next level.

An updated pattern, incorporating the PULSE GROOVE, contributes to the tyre’s impressive wet weather performance.

What is PULSE GROOVE?

This new thread pattern uses a pulse-shaped groove and deflector that optimizes water flow. Tests have shown improved water drainage and better grip and adhesion in wet conditions, as well as 8% mileage increase

Compound and Construction

• New compound for front shoulder and rear edge with optimised resin components to enhance grip characteristics.
• Grip improver is a material that improves grip by making it easier to follow the road surface.
• Carbon reinforces the spring-like polymer, preventing the polymer from shrinking and consequently losing grip.

Pattern design

• New pattern design, including PULSE GROOVE in the rear for better wet performance
• Optimised land/sea ratio in the shoulder area and pattern stiffness
  • In the front for DRY handling and stability in DRY and WET
  • In the rear for traction improvement

Dry Performance Improvement

• Increased cornering speed by 5%
• 1% faster DRY lap time

Wet Performance Improvement

• Traction improved
• 3% shorter WET braking distance
• 4% faster WET lap time
