Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S20N Ultra-High Performance Radial Rear Tire

• Ultra high performance radials designed to achieve high handling performance and easier cornering using tread patterns and construction technology from MotoGP
• Quick warm up, even in low temperatures, and works well in cool conditions
• Improved grip in a wider range of temperatures, at tire warm up, and when wet, compared to Bridgestone Battlax BT-016 Pro tires
• Optimized tread compounds improve dry handling with high mileage maintained
• Performance is maintained throughout the life of the tire
• Achieves a higher level of wet performance than Bridgestone Battlax BT-016 Pro tires, due to the tread patterns and rubber compounds
• Mono-Spiral Belt, Silica Rich EX, RC Polymer, and Nano Pro-Tech technologies used to achieve high levels of all around sport bike performance
• This motorcycle tire is tubeless
• These sport touring motorcycle tires are W rated for speeds up to 168 mph

Tire Compounds:

• Dual Compound (3LC) is used for both front and rear tires
• 3LC (3 Layer Compound) provides grip performance demanded in every aspect and all riding modes
• Center compound offers linear handling, while the shoulder compound secures high grip and solid contact feeling
• Silica Rich EX: Increased Silica composition ratio higher than Silica Rich to provide solid wet performance
• RC Polymer: A specific Nano Pro-Tech butadiene rubber that is specifically designed to react with silica, improving tread flexibility to provide enhanced wet traction and long wear life
• Nano Pro-Tech: Is a Bridgestone proprietary technology that controls the interaction between polymer, filler materials (carbon black, silica) and other rubber chemicals at the molecular level
• High grip levels from rubber compounds work in a wider range of temperatures

Tire Construction:

• Mono-Spiral Belt construction: A continuous single strand of cord is wrapped around the circumference and serves as a belt of a tire, eliminating overlapping of belts, seams, and joints
• Mono-Spiral Belt construction makes the tire lighter than conventional multi cross belt construction, has more stability since it minimizes heat generation inside the tire, and gives high shock absorption
• High Tensile Super Penetrated Cord (HTSPC): Features a 1X5 filament, rubber insulated steel Mono-Spiral Belt allowing more flexibility than other types of the steel used by competitors, reduces heat generation, and provides stability without deteriorating shock absorption
• Steel belt construction provides good bump absorption, grip and stability during high speed riding

Tread Pattern:

• Wider tread grooves improve cornering as well as wet and dry grip
• Straight center grooves improve cornering at low lean angles, especially at turn-in
• Improved initial grip by maintaining contact area at the all lean angles
• Contact patch is optimized to improve contact with the road

Test Results vs Bridgestone Battlax BT-016 Pro Hypersport Radial Tires:

• Achieved high cornering stability by improving rear and front grip
• Achieved sportier handling
• Achieved wet weather stability by improving grip
• Achieved better control in all wet weather conditions

Available in the following motorcycle tire sizes: 190/50ZR-17.

Note: 190/50ZR-17 is O.E.M replacement for Kawasaki Ninja 1000 2014.
