The Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S23 rear motorcycle tire is designed for riders who want confident handling, strong grip, and dependable high-speed stability. This rear tire fits applications using size 160/60ZR17 with a 69W speed rating and features Bridgestone’s advanced MS Belt construction. The manufacturer part number and vendor part number are both 15925, making it easy to identify the correct replacement for your motorcycle.
The Battlax S23 uses a refined rear tread pattern developed to support responsive handling and consistent contact with the road. Its construction is tuned for stability at high speeds, while the updated shoulder compound helps provide excellent wet and dry grip at higher lean angles. These features work together to give sport-focused riders predictable feedback during cornering, acceleration, and everyday road riding.
Bridgestone optimized the S23 contact patch through Ultimat-Eye analysis to improve how the tire interacts with the pavement. The result is a rear tire engineered for balanced performance across a range of riding conditions, from commuting and highway travel to spirited cornering. Performance comparisons were conducted against the previous-generation Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S22 using 120/70ZR17 and 190/55ZR17 test fitments. Actual results may vary based on proper tire and vehicle maintenance, road surface conditions, weather, and individual riding habits. Always confirm fitment, inflation requirements, and motorcycle manufacturer recommendations before installation.
