Description
The aim of the Battlax S22 is to allow riders to experience the full extent of their bike€ž¢s performance on the road (and in fairness, they€ž¢ll be more than up to the odd track day as well!)
Bridgestone engineers have adopted a brand new tread pattern design for several reasons:
- Firstly, they have increased the Land/Sea ratio in the shoulder area, offering increased amounts of edge grip and reducing slippage towards the end of the contact area.
- Secondly, the angle and alignment of tread grooves have been altered to re-distribute the working forces across the tyre. This makes for light handling, improved feedback, and optimal water drainage when riding in the wet.
The rear tyre continues to use Bridgestone€ž¢s unique 5-Layer Compound structure, with the very softest compound found right at the edge for maximum cornering grip. The use of 5LC makes for more progressive handling, while retaining a harder central band for durability.
Chemists have worked on a brand new compound mix, using fine silica molecules across the central area, which has led to a 25% increase in the amount of silica touching the road surface when compared with the S21. Silica is great for boosting grip levels in both cold and wet conditions.
