BATTLAX HYPERSPORT S21 160/60 ZR17 M/C 69W Rear Radial Tubeless Type

【BRIDGESTONE MCR05185 BATTLAX HYPERSPORT S21 160/60 ZR17 M/C 69W Rear Radial Tubeless Type for Motorcycles, On-Road Sport, Circuit Race】
【The view of your usual corner will be transformed】

・The S20 EVO, which has been supported by many riders, has evolved further.
・Its ease of handling due to excellent lightness and its ground contact feel during cornering surpass the S20 EVO.
・The rear tire was developed utilizing Bridgestone's unique ULTIMAT EYE technology, and by adopting a dedicated compound, traction was increased and wear life was successfully improved.
・A true premium sport radial that further enhances machine performance and pursues the joy of riding.
Recommended for customers who:
●Enjoy sport riding primarily
●Demand both wet performance and life performance for supersport bikes
●Are considering trying track riding for the first time
【New Front Tire Profile】

By making the crown shape of the front tire smaller in diameter, the contact patch between the tire and the road surface becomes longer in the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle when the vehicle is leaned during cornering. This increases the force that turns the vehicle (camber thrust), contributing to improved nimble cornering performance.
【Dedicated Compound Adoption】

We reviewed the compound design from a molecular level and developed a compound that improves the microscopic contact between the tire and the road surface. By adopting this compound in the shoulder areas of the front and rear tires, which are crucial during cornering, cornering grip performance has improved.
【ULTIMAT EYE】

Bridgestone's unique tire development technology that measures and visualizes the behavior of the tire's contact patch under actual running conditions.
Traditional tire development has followed a process of simulation, prototype creation, indoor measurement, and performance verification through actual vehicle testing. ULTIMAT EYE can reproduce high-speed driving conditions equivalent to actual vehicles indoors and visualize the behavior of the tire's contact patch. This allows for high-precision analysis and performance verification based on scientific evidence, in addition to conventional actual vehicle testing. This measurement and analysis machine can handle speeds up to 400 km/h and bank angles up to 60 degrees.
【Rear Tire Design】

By utilizing ULTIMAT EYE in the structural design of the rear tire, we were able to precisely understand the sliding behavior of the tire on the road surface at the contact patch, which was not visible with previous analysis technologies, and successfully significantly reduce the slip area. This resulted in reduced wear and achieved approximately a 30% improvement in wear life.
【Unique Tread Pattern Design】

・The three-dimensional shaped groove ends increase tread rigidity, improving corner grip.
・Lug grooves extending beyond the centerline optimize the tread rigidity in the center part, improving road contact and enhancing agility.
・Rib blocks in the center of the rear tire suppress slip and extend wear life. (ULTIMAT EYE)
・The shoulder section has a slick groove arrangement, providing a large contact area and improving corner grip.
