HYPERSPORT S23

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

Bridgestone has made massive improvements with their motorcycle tyres in the last decade, with the current Battlax Hypersport S22 offering a combination of exceptional grip on the road or track while also offering decent mileage and wet weather grip.

And now their best has just been made better with the announcement of the Battlax Hypersport S23, and it’s promising to take all the best bits of the current version and make them even better.

Grip Improver

The S22 was designed to offer the levels of cornering grip that sports bike riders demand while riding the latest crop of sports machines, whether that’s on winding backroads or the twists and turns of a racetrack.

The S23 is taking those levels of cornering grip and improving them with the addition of a new compound for the shoulder area of the front and rear tyre that incorporates optimised resin components that enhance grip characteristics. Bridgestone has called this new compound ‘Grip Improver’ and states that it does its job by making it easier for the tyre to follow the road surface, with carbon reinforcing the spring-like polymer. And more contact with the road’s surface equals our favourite thing, more grip!

Better Water Dispersal

But the S23 isn’t just for dry roads, with the tread pattern and compound allowing it to work also in wet conditions. And Bridgestone has further improved the wet riding ability of the tyre by redesigning the tread in the centre of the tyre with a ‘Pulse Groove’.

This uniquely shaped grove actually speeds up and optimises the waterflow as the tyre makes contact with the road’s surface, helping disperse the water better and giving a 7% improvement in the Drainage Resistance Index (the measurement of water dispersal). And the better the tread can disperse the water, the more grip the tyre gets in wet conditions.

There’s also been a change in the tread pattern to improve the ‘Land/Sea’ ratio of the tyre i.e. the amount of tyre versus the amount of gap touching the road. The change of pattern at the front has been done to improve dry handling along with stability in the dry and the wet, while the change at the rear has been done to offer more traction.

Bridgestone claims through their testing that the S23 has an increased corner speed in the dry of 5% and a 1% faster dry lap time, while wet performance has seen a 3% shorter wet braking distance and a 4% faster wet lap time. And what everybody will love to hear is that Bridgestone also states that the S23 has an 8% mileage increase.
