Product Details
The Battlax Hypersport S23 is Bridgestone's current flagship street hypersport radial, replacing the S22 in the lineup. It adds a new tread compound on the front shoulder and rear edge, plus an updated Pulse Groove pattern design, to sharpen both dry grip and wet-weather drainage. It carries over the S22's MS-Belt construction with HTSPC technology for handling precision and high-speed stability. In Bridgestone's own internal testing it posted an 8% increase in cornering speed and 3% shorter wet braking distance versus the S22, along with an 8% longer rear tread life. It is a tubeless (TL) radial sold as dedicated front and rear fitments.
