The Bridgestone R11 Soft is an extreme performance summer tire engineered for track day enthusiasts and spirited street riders seeking maximum grip and precision handling. This tire is designed to deliver exceptional performance in dry conditions, making it ideal for riders who prioritize lap times and responsive feedback.
The R11 Soft distinguishes itself through its advanced construction and compound technology. Bridgestone's Variable Mono Spiral Belt (V-MSB) construction optimizes the tire's contact patch during cornering, resulting in enhanced grip and stability at various lean angles. The strategic placement of tread grooves, developed using Bridgestone's proprietary Ultimat Eye technology, further enhances tread rigidity during cornering while ensuring optimal deformation for quicker warm-up times and maximum contact under acceleration. The rear tire incorporates an additional GP Belt on top of the V-MSB to provide extra stability and rigidity, maximizing grip during hard acceleration. The soft compound provides exceptional grip in dry conditions.
Compared to other tires in its class, the Bridgestone R11 Soft is engineered to provide a balance of rapid warm-up, predictable handling, and consistent performance throughout its lifespan. Its construction promotes stability under braking and confident corner entry, allowing riders to push their limits on the track. The UTQG treadwear rating of 119 indicates a focus on maximizing grip and performance, with a corresponding trade-off in longevity. The R11 is a successor to the R10, with improvements to corner entry, braking, acceleration and consistent performance.
