Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S20 im Test
The Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S20 is a polarizing tire that excels in high-performance, warm-weather conditions but suffers from significant longevity and cold-weather performance issues. While riders on powerful sportbikes praise its grip during aggressive, spirited riding, many users report rapid tread wear, poor stability in cold or wet conditions, and a tendency for the rear tire to square off quickly.

Vorteile
- Exceptional dry grip when fully warmed up
- High confidence levels during aggressive, spirited cornering
- Strong performance on track and twisty roads
- Predictable handling profile that resists turning square under specific conditions
Nachteile
- Extremely short tread life, often requiring replacement between 1,000 and 3,500 miles
- Poor cold-weather performance and slow warm-up times
- Lack of stability and grip in wet or less-than-ideal road conditions
- Tendency for the rear tire to square off rapidly, leading to unstable handling
Gut zu wissen
- Owners of heavy, high-torque motorcycles like the Kawasaki ZZR1400 and Z1000SX report rapid center-tread wear, particularly during motorway riding.
- Users on liter-class sportbikes (R1, CBR1000RR) note that the tire requires significant heat to reach optimal performance, making it less suitable for casual or cold-weather commuting.
