A dedicated rear racing tyre for sportbikes, the Bridgestone BATTLAX HYPERSPORT S23 REAR 200/55R17 78W is engineered for aggressive road and track use. Positioned in the high-performance motorcycle segment, it prioritises grip during high lean angles and rapid direction changes. The tyre’s profile is crafted to improve contact patch behaviour through lean, supporting strong cornering stability. Advanced compound technology enhances adhesion while managing temperature build-up. Even wear characteristics help maintain predictable handling over multiple ride sessions.

The carcass and belt package deliver consistent steering response and reduced rolling resistance relative to previous generations, which benefits throttle transitions and lap times. Groove placement assists water evacuation in wet conditions, improving wet grip and reducing braking distance when conditions turn. The tyre also provides a linear feel from upright to full lean, allowing confident input modulation.

For riders this rear tyre brings tangible improvements in lap consistency and road confidence, especially for those mixing track days with spirited road rides. Expect precise feedback, durable performance across aggressive cornering and the reassurance of a design made for repeatable high-speed use.
