        “I lightly squeezed the front brake to set the forks as I turned in, putting a ton of pressure on  the front tire as I got to full lean. Then I picked up the gas and accelerated hard out of Mineshaft with the rear lit up.

        “In years past I would not have imagined ripping through Mineshaft at any level of commitment on anything less than a race tires, but there I was on a set of well-used Bridgestone Hypersport Battlax S23 tires flicking the bike into a fourth-gear corner without a worry.

        “Performance of OEM and OEM replacement tires has come a long way in the 25 years I’ve been testing bikes. And Bridgestone has been at the front of it…”

                “Intro: Hypersport Battlax S23 Tires,” by Racing Editor Chris Ulrich

 

            Bridgestone has now released the fifth version of the S series tires that started with the S20 back in 2012. The latest iteration, the S23, has been fine tuned, featuring more tire life, better edge grip, and improved wet-weather performance. Racing Editor Chris Ulrich reports in the latest issue of Roadracing World!
