The BEST Motorcycle Tire Just Got BETTER! | Bridgestone Battlax S23 Launch

[@larryhouse3776]

I ran the s21 and S22. Never gave me any doubts. Rain, frozen roads, on their edge aggressive riding. Putting down 200hp. 300+kph, touring. About 30,000km. Never gave me any doubts.

[@PidarBlyad]

yours lasted 30,000km?

[@mattchrich957]

Not a chance I imagine thats the total mileage he did in total on that rubber. I've got a 2023 MT10 and my S22's are getting ready and i'm just over 1500 miles. Going to give the S23's a whirl having seen this i think@@PidarBlyad

[@sebg2086]

frozen road.......lol did you stud them?>

[@larryhouse3776]

@afiq42 no they don't last that long lmao. But I kept buying them back to back because I liked them so much. 30 thousand in total. I got about 7 or 8 thousand km out of a rear tire. 10 thousand or more on a front.

[@larryhouse3776]

@sebg2086 I was still on pavement, not ice. But yes, I ran them at -10 celcius a few times and they weren't terrible. Of course I was being very careful.

[@postersm7141]

I was just out today on my 2023 Yamaha MT 10 just riding around on the streets and once again being so impressed with these tires. I was in a long right hand sweeper, leaning further and further and giving it just a little more gas and it felt so good. I love these tires I have the S22 tires that came factory on my bike, but you can bet your ass when it’s time I will be upgrading to the S23 They are so good. I would not want to change anything. The profile the way you can flick it from side to side. It’s just so damn good. I’m not gonna mess with it. When it’s time for replacements, I am definitely going with the S23!!!

[@AJS24DH]

80% of the people or more will never and could never push this tire or any tire for that matter to its potential especially on the street or mountains or wherever. I’ve been riding 50 years now and have tried multiple different types of tires 😂 and have never had any issues with most of them , my go to is Bridgestone 99% of the time . That being said , lean angle equals risk and on the street could easily equal pain or discomfort or worst . The best riders in the world don’t risk it on the road. Tires are a small part of the equation. Pick what you like best and go with it . Be patient and safe !! ✌🏻 Btw …. Focus on trail braking and learn it good and you’ll be quicker no matter what tires you have .

[@SoDakTwisties]

We are pretty spoiled by tire technology today. So many good choices across a lot of brands.

[@Buddha-ci8fz]

I loved m S22, can't wait to try the S23. Glad they're using such a "salad" foundation!

[@chorseundgrd]

I had the S21 OEM on my S1KRR and ran them to the chord. Switched to Pirelli and was much happier. Nothing beats Pirelli for me. Bridgestones are "aight" imo but different strokes for different folks

[@raed1953]

Im thanking to switch to the rosso 4 did you try it ?

[@chorseundgrd]

@@raed1953 Yep I got Rosso 4 Corsas. About 1500 miles on them so far and they're awesome. Heat up quick and a ton of grip. I can't speak for the track but for canyon carving, I love them. Really great feeling on the side of tire during lean which I didn't feel on the Bstones

[@raed1953]

@@chorseundgrdthat’s it im going with rosso for sure but im confused with prices because I will take it online , we don’t have them here in Middle East , any website suggestions ?

[@chorseundgrd]

@@raed1953 I would try some of the EU retailers that ship internationally

[@jdubt8046]

It's the price difference. I would have tried the Pirelli Angel GT2s, but the price! I'm on a ZX-14R too so I need a tougher compound than the Rossis.

[@veronicaisl]

I’m currently using the s22 and can’t wait to try these s23

Warms my heart to know that you’re in my country. I’m from Pretoria, 30 minutes away from where you were. 15mins on a bike. I hope the summer weather is kind on you. Back to bikes. I’m running the S22s on my Triumph Speed Triple 1200RR. And I gotta say. I love it. It’s my first set. And I’ll definitely be trying the S23. If you don’t mind. Please make a quick feedback vid of your SA experience. Would love to know what you think about our beloved country. Would be nice to bump into you.

[@ItsTonioCyka]

how many miles or km have you gotten out of the S22 mate? I own a Street Triple and I am currently on the original Pirellis it came with and I am thinking of changing for the Bridgestones. Thanks in advance!

I've got S22s on my bike right now. I'll step up to S23s once I get these ones nice and flat haha.

Just bought a set of these for my ZX-14R. Wished you'd have got on that Busa to tell me how they felt on a big boy.

Welcome to my home country!! Enjoy my Bru!!!🇿🇦🤙🏼

[@Tinker3504]

Loved the S22. I bet I’d love the S23. If I ever road track on a bike I also run on the street, I really think they are the play over something like a Power 5. I run a Road 6 on my MT-09 that never sees a track. It’s smokes hypersport and pure track tires in road conditions and temps.

[@Bogdangati4]

Road 6 are better than the S22 Hypersport that came from the factory ?

[@Tinker3504]

@@Bogdangati4 on the ROAD, no comparison. I smoke folks running their hypersport tires(s22, s23, power 5's, etc...) on the street. Now on the track, yeah they would dust me. If you wanna go from cruising at 40-70mph behind Sally in her civic to a posted 30-45mph twisty section of road and you are scraping, Road 6 will bite instantly. Think of it this way... hypersport tires run a warm up lap to reach operating temps right? Imagine not doing the warm up lap. Thats street riding.

[@Bogdangati4]

I asked you because I had Road 5 on CB650F, and now my MT09 came from the factory with S22 Hypersport which I am currently using and I love them. I did not feel the need to warm them up as they warm up really fast in summer weather. Talking about street only.@@Tinker3504

[@SirMountainpass]

First-class impressions from the race track - only the Hornet feels really slow to watch 😅

[@wrightracing11]

Genuine questing. How is this a test. And how did this reader get an invite. Riding round off line and doesn’t even use full gas on the straights. You could use tyres made of wood to give grip at that commuting pace. Absolutely pointless.

[@jernps4475]

Happy to see you in my home country

[@Armed_Yamaha]

Super jealous, looked like too much fun!! Bucket list ✅

[@grahamcunliffe9352]

Very interesting to see the difference between the bikes.

[@tristanerasmus2501]

How long are you going to be in South Africa? Will you be doing any other videos while here?

[@TheSteveSteele]

I’m trying to decide between the S23s, the Rossa IVs, the Metzeler M9 RRs, or the Michelin Power 5s. It’s a tough decision, but it’s based on how I’ll be riding for the near future. The Pirellis would be fun, but roads where I live are not great. But practically the S23s or the M9 RRs are the ones I’m deciding between.

[@wbr7472]

I’m in the same boat, have you managed to come to any conclusions?

[@TheSteveSteele]

@@wbr7472 Not yet. I’m going to purchase a set of tires before this month is over so I’ll be deciding soon. I’m really curious about the Rossa IIIs, so it might be them this time. But if I decide I want tires to last longer I’ll probably go with the S23s. That’s where I’m at right now.

[@richbrett7268]

Just about to put them on my nuda - looking forward to comparing with rosso4 on my s1000r..

[@Spy-Pigeon]

I have these on my KTM 690 smcr they are really good 👍🏻

[@marcoaguiar3226]

Some would say the Michelin power 6 is better in everything so we need a serious head to head comparison with lap times, cornering speed and stability etc.

[@IAMTEDDYYBEAR]

I’m running S21.. I’ll try them next time

[@pines2000]

Just got a 24 street triple rs. Really conflicted on s23/power 6 or a sport touring tire like roadsmart 4 or maybe road 6. I live in south carolina, wont be doing track days. Mostly just cruising around in the country. Also roads here are mostly horrible condition. Any opinions anyone? Also im not very concerned about wet grip, will be avoiding rain as much as i can.

[@postersm7141]

Well, I can tell you that the S22 that came factory equipped on my 2023 MT 10 are freaking amazing very fantastic for the same type of riding that you just described. I’m not too far from you. I live in Northern Virginia so I ride Skyline Drive in the Blue Ridge Mountains and just do various local riding on various roads. So far these tires have been fantastic.
