Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S20 Rear Tires
The S20, which incorporates the innovative technologies developed for MotoGP tires, is one of Bridgestone's sport radial premium brand products. Using new patterns and new compounds, in the S20 Bridgestone offers durability and long wear life while improving grip performance at both high temperatures and low temperatures, such as immediately after start and in wet conditions. Also, by optimizing the tire structure in the S20, Bridgestone was able to increase the running contact pressure and contact surface and focus on high performance in dry conditions and stable handling.
The BATTLAX series is Bridgestone's premium brand of on-road motorcycle tires. The top of the line of the BATTLAX tires are the MotoGP class tires used in the FIM (Federation Internationale de Motocyclisme) road race series, for which Bridgestone is the official tire supplier. Bridgestone offers a wide range of BATTLAX tires, from touring to racing and from small motorcycles to large motorcycles.
Principal technologies and product features:
- New Pattern: Through the optimization of groove positioning and the use of wide grooves, the tire offers both comfortable handling and improved grip performance in dry and wet conditions.
- New Compound: Continued use of NanoPro-Tech, RC Polymer (for motorcycle tires). All aspects of compound composition were reevaluated, and as a result Bridgestone was able to maintain long wear life while achieving high grip performance in a wide range of temperature conditions, from high to low.
- 3LC (3 Layer Compound) Optimized Tread Pattern Design: By optimizing tread pattern design for the new compound, Bridgestone has achieved high levels of both wear life and grip performance.
Features:
- Dual Compound (3LC) is used for both front and rear tires
- Contact patch is optimized to improve contact with the road
- Performance is maintained throughout the life of the tire
- Better wet performance than BT-016 PRO due to new pattern and compound
- Technologies used include: Mono-Spiral Belt, Silica Rich EX, RC Polymer and Nano Pro-Tech to achieve high levels of all-around sport bike performance

Excellent road tire
I waited until I had a few hundred miles on the tire before posting a review. Thus far the tire has performed extremely well with excellent grip and predictable performance under heavy breaking, turn-in, extreme lean angles, and hard acceleration. It definitely inspires confidence to push hard through the mountain/canyon roads.
I cannot comment on track day performance as I have not had a chance to bring it to the track. However, given the response thus far on the streets, I would expect this tire to be at home on the track as well. It warms up quickly, enabling you to go hard almost right out of the gate.
If this tire performs well during the winter months and in wet weather, I will definitely pruchase this again. Due to lack of track time and inclement weather rides, I did not give it 5 stars. However, I fully expect the tire would come close to, if not fully perform as, a 5 tire rated tire.

Simply incredible
Unbelievable feel great traction and stability confidence inspiring and quick to warm up I have to work hard to get the tire to slip or spin even when cold this tire is very predictable I will stick with this tire for years to come I'm sure I'll be hard-pressed to find a better tire for high-performance street riding canyons and track days

Not bad!
I ride a Super Duke and live on a road with 1800 turns in 145 miles so I typically wear out the sides first. These tires grip throughout the temp range. They seem to grip well cool as well as very hot. Temps reach 110 here and they don't seem to get greasy.This is my second set of S20's this summer and I like them. I can't rate them on rain because it hasn't. I can't rate them on mileage because I haven't kept track. I don't care about mileage, I care about grip, and they do grip.

So far so sticky!
I'm currently riding a 2012 Ninja 1000 and as of today's date I've put a little over 600 miles on these tires mostly highway and only dry road conditions. Prior to these I was running BT 16’s and 2CT's, yes those tires were fantastic but these are even better! Dry grip is outstanding, cornering is a dream and they heat up much faster than the BT16's and even the 2 CT's.
Sorry, I'm unable to comment on wet traction as I haven't been caught riding in the rain yet, by the looks of the cloud cover rolling in that may happen today. Highway riding is smooth and riding the twisties is downright exhilarating. I’m running 120/70/17 front & 190/50/17 rear. Cornering is far easier, push the handle bar and bike leans, quickly and effortlessly. Flicking the bike from side to side is equally easy. I’m sure 180’s would be even more nimble than the 190’s!
Thus far just a super tire (always buy in pairs)!!
Thank you RevZilla for price matching!

Great sport tire in the Bridgestone tradition
Having gone through 12-14 sets of BT 016s and 016 pros over the last couple of years, I guess you could say I'm a Bridgestone fan. With the S20, Bridgestone have moved the game beyond the BT 016 pro in terms of warm-up, grip (wet and dry), feed back and fun. Just don't read too much into that part about durability and long wear.

Answer:
Thanks for the inquiry. We do typically recommend staying within the same model of tire. However, in this case the S20 is the successor to the 016 and can probably be matched up together without you noticing it. For every day road riding you will not notice any difference. The only reservation we would have is if you decided to do a few track days, where you are more likely to really push the limits of adhesion, you may notice grip level variation or a tendency to head shake a little easier.6 months ago
Answer:
I have this exact setup as I only needed the rear tire at this time. I have been able to ride equally as hard now as I did when I had the BT016's on both front and rear. The way the S20 has performed thus far, I wouldn't hesitate to replace the front with an S20 as well. I have no comment about how long the tire would last, but the grip is excellent on the streets.6 days ago
Answer:
Ive seen a few guys at the track in the middle of swapping tires like that. If you're on the street I would say its fine. Most noteable people would advise against tracking like that, but on the street you arent really pushing the tires. If you're reasonably close to replacing the front, I would say swap both if you can manage it financially. Two tires = two different reactions to road conditions.Gender: male
