Bridgestone Tires - Battlax Hypersport S21
The S20 EVO loved by so many riders has evolved again. Due to its superior agility, the S21’s ease of handling and the contact feel when cornering surpass even that of the S20 EVO. The rear tire was developed with Bridgestone’s ULTIMAT EYE™ technology, while the compound succeeds in generating better traction and while improving abrasion resistance for longer life. This marks the birth of a new premium sports radial, one that brings out the best in machine performance in pursuit of the joy of riding.

- Dry grip and war life significantly improved without sacrificing web performance
- 3D cross grooves designed to optimize rigidity and improve contact with the road
- Dual compound front tir (3LC) with revised profile generates higher grip at lower lean angles
- Triple compound rear tire (5LC) with revised profile provides improved stability and durability
- Enhanced Micro-contact-patch Compound (EMC) technology used for both front and rear shoulder compounds.
- EMC increases grip potential and improved thermal stability to make sure the tire peformance remains consistent as temps go up.
