Raising the bar of hypersport performance - yet again.
The Battlax Hypersport S23 is Bridgestone's ultimate hypersport tire designed to amplify your riding experience with exhilarating performance and precision control. Delivering improvements over the Battlax Hypersport S22*, the S23 is a next generation tire that's engineered for increased wet and dry grip, plus cornering stability without compromising wear for more time carving up the road.
- New tread compound on front shoulder and rear edge to enhance dry grip.
- New pattern design implements Pulse Groove technology to increase water drainage and grip in wet conditions.
- Optimized pattern stiffness supports improved traction and stability.
Battlax Hypersport S23 Technology:
Pulse Groove - Improved water channeling and drainage resulting in enhanced grip and reduced tire slip ratio in wet conditions. Pulse Groove Technology works by combining pulse-shaped grooves with small center deflectors to equalize waterflow, which optimizes waterflow speed compared to a straight groove.
Mono Spiral Belt: - MSB construction means that a continuous single strand is wrapped around the circumference of the tire. This one-piece construction eliminates overlapping of belts, seams, and joints. An MSB tire is lighter than conventional multi-cross belt construction, it also has more stability since it minimizes heat generation inside the tire and gives high shock absorption.
High Tensile Super Penetrated Cord - Bridgestone was the very first motorcycle tire manufacturer to utilize 1X5 filament rubber insulated steel (MSB) in the manufacture of its motorcycle radial tires. This makes the tire more flexible, provides more stability without a reduction in shock absorption, and minimizes the generation of heat throughout the tire.
Silica Rich EX - Performance in wet conditions is improved by increasing the amount of silica compared to conventional Silica Rich.
RC Polymer - RC Polymer technology optimizes the distribution of silica within the rubber compound and improves tread flexibility allowing greater contact with the road surface in both hot and cold conditions. The reduction in molecular friction also improves rolling resistance, therefore increasing fuel economy.
NanoPro-Tech - NanoPro-Tech is the name of a technology that facilitates the realization of the required features in a tire by controlling the material microstructure through structural design at the molecular level. It is one of Bridgestone's fundamental technologies.
3LC (Dual Compound) - Provides grip performance demanded in all riding modes. The center compound offers linear handling. The shoulder compound secures high grip and solid contact feel.
*Comparison based on BATTLAX HYPERSPORT S23 (120/70ZR17 and 190/55ZR17) vs. previous generation BATTLAX HYPERSPORT S22 (120/70ZR17 and 190/55ZR17) in internal testing. Results may vary depending upon proper tire and vehicle maintenance, surface conditions, and riding habits.
