The Battlax Hypersport S22 is an original equipment tyre for the latest Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX and SX SE. In their 2022 incarnation, the sport touring bikes will wear the Bridgestone tyre in size 120/70ZR17 M/C (58W) at the front and 190/55ZR17 M/C (75W) on the rear.
Bridgestone has launched a new motorcycle tyre for the growth adventure biking segment. The Bridgestone Battlax Adventure Trail AT41 combines rugged, off-road features with a touring compound to provide traction, grip and braking in all weather conditions. It will be available from February 2022 in nine sizes.
Bridgestone has launched its new Battlax Sport Touring T32 tyre. The tyre represents improved wet performance over the T31, containing Bridgestone’s Pulse Groove Pattern Technology. The T32 has a 13 per cent bigger contact patch than its predecessor, which supports handling improvements. The tyre has also reduced wet braking distance by seven per cent. Enhancing the tyre’s size line-up, Bridgestone is launching a version of the tyre dedicated to middleweight and heavy motorcycles. The Battlax Sport Touring T32GT increases wear life by 10 per cent over its predecessor. Bridgestone calls the T32 range a “new benchmark” for the touring segment. Nico Thuy, head of motorcycle at Bridgestone EMIA, adds: “We wanted to give riders more control and confidence in the wet and this tyre delivers exactly that.” The full sport touring line-up of sizes will be available on the market in early 2021.
