The Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S21 front motorcycle tire is designed for riders who want dependable dry grip, responsive handling, and consistent performance during spirited street riding. This front tire uses a 120/70R17 size and carries a 58W speed rating, making it capable of speeds up to 168+ mph when properly installed and used according to the motorcycle manufacturer’s recommendations. Its sport-focused construction helps maintain confidence through corners while delivering predictable road contact.
The Battlax Hypersport S21 features Bridgestone’s Enhanced Micro-contact-patch Compound, or EMC, technology in the front and rear shoulder compounds. This compound technology increases grip potential and improves thermal stability, helping the tire maintain consistent performance as operating temperatures rise. The result is a balanced combination of dry traction, cornering control, and usable wear life without sacrificing wet-weather performance. The tire is engineered for riders seeking a strong blend of everyday road capability and hypersport-inspired handling.
Three-dimensional cross grooves help optimize tread rigidity and improve the tire’s contact with the road. This design supports stable feedback and controlled response during acceleration, braking, and cornering. Bridgestone has also improved dry grip and wear performance compared with the previous generation while retaining wet-road confidence. The manufacturer is Bridgestone, and the listed manufacturer and vendor part number is 22147.
