Husqvarna Nuda 900R & New Bridgestone Battlax S21's

I have just had Bridgestone Battlax S21s fitted to my Nuda 900r. I compare them to the S21s fitted to my Aprilia Tuono V4

I put a set of S21’s on my Nuda and I must say, what a great set of tires! The nuda, on smooth roads, has some serous corner speeds......still a bit unstable on rough roads as I think the R model suspension is a bit stiff, but on smooth roads, its just amazing. Great tires!

Yeah I think you are right about cornering The Nuda on a rough road being a bit harsh because the suspension is a bit stiff.. When I first bought my Nuda I made sure all the suspension settings were reset to factory standard. I am about 12 and 1/2 stone and the standard settings seem to suit me.. Also check to see if you have play or side to side float in the swingarm.. Check Out Nuda Facebook group facebook.com/groups/286456761408735/ There are some great Nuda owners on there..

I did the spacers (daniel didelot) already. I have scrubbed in the S21s now and screw me, the handling of this thing on smooth roads is amazing. I am running some of the highest corner speeds I have ever ridden and friends on 1000 class bikes are scratching their heads! rough roads is still a bit of a compromise but still very good..

How are the S21’s doing on the Nuda?

Better than all expectations... I've Just been over to Germany with them and covered 2500 miles where they have out performed my friends Nuda which was fitted with Michelin Pilot Road rear and Pilot power front..

Great. Might go for a set on my nuda.!
