The Bridgestone Battlax BT023 F rear motorcycle tire is designed for riders who want dependable sport-touring performance, confident wet-weather handling, and long-lasting mileage. This tubeless radial tire features a 180/55ZR17 size with a 73W speed and load rating, making it a suitable replacement for select Yamaha sport and sport-touring motorcycles. The tire is engineered to provide balanced performance across daily commuting, spirited riding, and extended highway travel.
Its modern directional tread pattern helps channel water away from the contact area for improved traction on wet roads while supporting even wear over time. The rear tire’s dual-radius profile creates a larger footprint as the motorcycle leans, helping increase grip, cornering confidence, and overall mileage. Aramid belting contributes to high-load stability and supports consistent handling under changing riding conditions. The tubeless construction simplifies installation on compatible wheels and provides the convenience expected from a modern motorcycle tire.
The Bridgestone Battlax BT023 F is available in blackwall and whitewall configurations, allowing riders to select the appearance that best matches their motorcycle.
