BATTLAX S22 Tyre 120/70 R17 58W by Bridgestone

The Bridgestone BATTLAX S22 front tyre is designed for sporty road use. Its tread patterns promote water evacuation, while its compound and structure technologies enhance handling and control on both dry and wet roads. Its 120/70 R17 size is suitable for fitting on a 17-inch rim with a Tubeless installation.

Installation and Fitting

• The 120/70 R17 size is intended to replace a front tyre of the same dimension on a 17-inch rim.
• The Tubeless fitting is done without an inner tube, suitable for rims designed for this type of tyre.
• The load index of 58 helps in selecting a tyre that meets the motorcycle's specifications.
• The speed index W facilitates the choice of a tyre that meets the replacement requirements for the motorcycle.
• The radial structure meets the technical characteristics of the tyre to maintain a configuration consistent with the intended fitting.
• Manufacturer reference 16611

Design and Materials

• The 3LC structure of the front profile combines a stiffer central compound with differentiated shoulders to support the tyre's handling.
• The 5LC structure of the rear profile balances the central compound, traction zone, and softer shoulders to enhance grip and stability in curves.
• Silica-enriched compounds and improved resin enhance grip on the contact area.

Usage and Performance

• The tread patterns that drain water and the stiffer blocks improve the feel of grip on wet surfaces, maintaining better control.
• The 3LC and 5LC tread patterns enhance handling for easier cornering.
• The 3D profile of the groove ends reinforces rigidity to support tyre stability.
• On dry surfaces, the BATTLAX S22 boasts a 15% increase in cornering speed compared to the S21 for a more dynamic ride.
• On wet surfaces, it reduces low-speed skidding and claims a lap time reduction of 5% compared to the S21.
• Its longevity remains on par with that of its predecessor, extending the tyre's usability.
