Bridgestone is introducing a new do-it-all sport motorcycle tire solution for 2024 with its Battlax 23 (read the Bridgestone Debuts Battlax S23 Sportbike Tires for 2024 article). Engineered for sport-minded streetbike riders and the occasional trackdays, this high-performance sportbike rubber offers up these top five things you need to know about.
- New edge compounding on the sides of the front and rear tires gives more grip at high lean angles.
- A new tread pattern reduces tread squirm and offers more rigidity at speed.
- We have five compound zones in the rear, edge, shoulder center, shoulder edge, and three compound zones in the front, shoulder/edge, and center.
- Not only does this tread pattern add rigidity, it also boosts water evacuation in wet weather riding.
- We love Bridgestone’s Battlax S23 profile and contour; these tires work on all types of sportbikes and naked bikes.
