The Brand

Bridgestone is a Japanese manufacturer founded by Shojiro Ishibashi, whose surname translates as 'stone bridge', the source of the company name. It produces tyres for passenger cars, SUVs, commercial vehicles, motorcycles and aircraft, alongside diversified rubber products, and in 1988 acquired Firestone. A premium marque suited to drivers seeking established quality and a broad range.

The Pattern
Battlax Hypersport S23 Rear

Flagship hypersport rear radial for fast road riding and occasional track days on sporty machines.

The Battlax Hypersport S23 rear is Bridgestone's flagship road-going hypersport radial, built to handle the power of modern sports and naked bikes. It uses a three-compound layout with a dedicated edge compound for grip at full lean, and retains the MS-Belt carcass with stiffer sidewalls for stability under hard acceleration and braking. Pulse Groove tread technology improves water clearance, while a harder centre compound extends mileage. It suits everything from sub-100bhp nakeds to litre-class superbikes.
