BATTLAX S21 160/60 R17 69W Tyre by Bridgestone

The Bridgestone Battlax S21 is a radial rear tyre designed for road use and hypersport motorcycles. Its tri-compound design at the rear enhances stability, grip, and precision in corners, on both dry and wet surfaces.

Usage and Performance

• The stiffer tread increases stability, ensuring a more precise motorcycle in curves.
• The optimised contact patch improves grip to enhance trajectory control.
• The positioning of the grooves facilitates water evacuation to maintain tyre performance on wet surfaces.
• The shoulder rubber compound increases responsiveness and grip in corners.
• Performance on both dry and wet surfaces meets the demands of sporty road use under varying conditions.
• Longevity is claimed to be superior to that of the S20 EVO, supporting extended use.

Design and Materials

• The tri-compound design at the rear combines different rubber zones to adapt the tyre's behaviour to cornering forces.
• The radial structure contributes to a design suited for hypersport motorcycles equipped with this technology.

Installation and Fitting

• The 160/60 R17 format simplifies the verification of dimensions required for rear tyre replacement.
• The tubeless fitting without an inner tube is suitable for rims designed for this technology.
• The load index of 69 and speed index W allow for the necessary characteristics to be checked during replacement.
