The Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S21 front tire is designed for sport motorcycle riders who demand responsive handling, dependable cornering grip, and consistent performance across changing riding conditions. This front motorcycle tire uses a 120/60ZR17 size with a (55W) speed rating, supporting speeds up to 168+ mph when properly fitted and operated according to the motorcycle and tire manufacturer’s recommendations. Its sport-focused design makes it well suited for riders seeking confident road performance without compromising everyday usability.
The S21 incorporates Bridgestone’s Enhanced Micro-contact-patch Compound (EMC) technology in the front and rear shoulder compounds. This compound design increases grip potential while improving thermal stability, helping the tire maintain a more consistent performance profile as operating temperatures rise. The result is predictable feedback during spirited riding, particularly through corners where stable contact with the road is essential. The Battlax Hypersport S21 also delivers improved dry grip and wear life while preserving wet-weather performance for added versatility on public roads.
Three-dimensional cross grooves are engineered to optimize tread rigidity and improve the tire’s contact with the road surface. This helps promote controlled handling, smooth transitions, and reliable traction during acceleration, braking, and cornering. As a front tire, the S21 is designed to complement the handling characteristics of compatible sport motorcycles and should be installed according to the motorcycle manufacturer’s fitment requirements. This Bridgestone tire is identified by manufacturer part number 5528 and vendor part number 5528, providing a clear reference for ordering and replacement. Confirm the recommended size, load rating, speed rating, and front-wheel application before installation.
