Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S23R Rear Tire | 150/60R17 66H TL

Upgrade your sportbike with the Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S23R 150/60R17 rear tire. Experience enhanced dry/wet grip, Pulse Groove technology, and sharper handling precision. 

The Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S23R redefines the boundaries of street-legal hypersport capability. Designed to support modern light-to-mid displacement sportbikes and entry supersports, this 150/60R17 rear tire incorporates cutting-edge rubber compounding and structural optimizations.

Utilizing Bridgestone’s advanced 5-Layer Compound (5LC) technology, the rear tire balances multi-zone performance: a stable center compound for straight-line mileage, shoulder compounds for high power transfer, and newly formulated edge compounds infused with grip-improving resins for exceptional purchase at extreme lean angles. Combined with a rigid pattern design and Pulse Groove technology, the S23R optimizes the contact patch via advanced Ultimate Eye simulation, resulting in reduced slip, quicker water evacuation, and an 8 percent improvement in rear tread wear durability compared to previous generations.

Best Uses:

• Aggressive Canyon Carving: Providing instant confidence and linear handling when transitioning through twisty backroads.
• Sportbike Track Days: Delivering reliable high-speed stability and heavy corner-exit drive for track enthusiasts.
• Mixed Weather Commuting: Offering dependable wet-weather water dispersion and silica-enhanced cold-weather grip.
• High-Performance Street Riding: Balancing long wear life with top-tier dry traction for daily sportbike riders.

5 Key Features:

1. 5-Layer Compound (5LC) Technology: Features distinct rubber compounds mapped across the center, shoulder, and edge zones to optimize wear and cornering grip.
2. Pulse Groove Technology: Incorporates reshaped grooves with center deflectors to accelerate water evacuation and improve wet-weather security.
3. Optimized Pattern Stiffness: Higher land-sea ratio prevents excessive tread flex, maximizing stability under hard throttle deployment off corners.
4. Enhanced Edge Compound Formulation: Utilizes modified polymers and specialized grip-improving resins on the outer tread to stick at deep lean angles.
5. Mono-Spiral Belt (MSB) Construction: Lightweight continuous single-strand cord wrapping minimizes internal heat generation and enhances high-speed shock absorption.

5 Key Benefits:

1. Superior Cornering Confidence: Allows riders to lean harder with a secure, predictable contact patch feel.
2. Improved Wet Traction: Cuts through standing water effectively, shortening braking distances and minimizing slip ratios in the rain.
3. Increased Tread Life: Delivers an 8% boost in wear performance over older models without sacrificing maximum grip.
4. Better Throttle Control on Exit: Higher pattern stiffness reduces squirm under hard acceleration, helping put power down efficiently.
5. Linear and Predictable Handling: Smooth transition profiles ensure the bike turns in consistently from upright to full lean without sudden drop-off.
