Description
The Bridgestone Battlax S23 tyre model stands out with notable improvements over its predecessor, the S22. Here’s what you can expect:
  • Exceptional cornering speed and lateral grip
  • Lap times reduced by 4% on wet roads
  • Braking distance on wet roads reduced by 3%
  • Increased longevity by 8%
The front tyre is designed with a three-layer compound. The harder centre offers stability during intense braking, linear handling, and great durability. The shoulders, on the other hand, are made of a softer, more adhesive compound to ensure maximum grip even at high lean angles. The rear tyre adopts a similar concept with a five-layer compound. This compound becomes progressively softer as you approach the edge of the tyre, thus providing additional grip where it is most needed. The entire structure of the Battlax S23 benefits from various innovations:
  • Lightweight and durable cords
  • Silica-rich RC Polymer
  • Tread groove design
These features contribute to better water evacuation, increased comfort, improved road contact, and fuel efficiency.

Review by Erick
4/5

I can’t yet say much about the tyre’s lifespan. It’s a relatively soft tyre that I would classify as a sporty road/track (hybrid) tyre. It feels very stable and drops into corners quite smoothly. I’ve ridden in temperatures of around 13–17 degrees and, while the tyre does warm up, it’s still below the ideal. For its category it performs respectably in the rain. However, don’t expect the performance of a Michelin road tyre; it simply isn’t made for that.

Top quality, but it still wears quickly in the centre.

Excellent grip. Safe cornering at lean angles possible. However, after about 4,000 km it's worn smooth.

Review by Christoph
4/5

I would—and do—buy this tyre time and again. The mileage is respectable for this segment and the grip on dry roads is superb. I drive very cautiously in the wet, so I can’t say much about that; I’ve never reached the limit. I’ve taken it on the track several times already and it shines there too—no slipping whatsoever. It’s my absolute favourite!

I'm curious to see if it's really better than the 22.

5/5

A great tyre - I previously used the Michelin and then the S22 - the switch was amazing - the motorcycle rode completely differently. It warms up immediately and a slight head movement into the curve and the motorcycle (Honda CB1000R) fell into the curve on its own. I've never noticed such a difference between two top tyres - Now ordered the S23 and once again very satisfied.
