When AIMExpo rolls around, Bridgestone (Booth #6017) will announce they are OE spec for Yamaha (Booth #3023): Bridgestone Corporation announced it will supply BATTLAX HYPERSPORT S23 tires as original equipment for the new MT-09. Through long-term tire co-creation development with Yamaha Motor, Bridgestone continues to support the company by delivering value in its wide range of motorcycles.
The BATTLAX S23 tires are next-generation sportbike tires featuring a new tread pattern meant to reduce rigidity fluctuations impacting the contact patch, while maintaining excellent water repellent properties for driving on wet surfaces. This improves grip and provides consistent traction regardless of conditions or track irregularities. These characteristics deliver enhanced grip and handling stability, whether going straight or banking at sharp angles for the 2024 MT-09.
Bridgestone celebrated the 40th anniversary of the BATTLAX brand in 2023 and believes the next generation will continue this legacy of pressing the limits of tire performance. Its efforts over four decades have resulted in BATTLAX claiming the No. 1 global share of the original equipment market for premium motorcycle tires. Get the scoop at AIMExpo.
