The Bridgestone Battlax Racing Street RS11 is a hypersport tire designed for street riders who demand track-level performance. It is built with technology derived from the highest levels of racing, making it suitable for chasing lap times or enjoying spirited rides on winding roads. This tire is a street-legal adaptation of Bridgestone's R11 race track compound.
The RS11 distinguishes itself through exceptional dry grip, cornering stability, and enhanced handling. Rider feedback and contact feel are significantly improved, inspiring confidence at extreme lean angles. The tire achieves this performance through a combination of advanced construction and compound technologies. The rear tire features a V-MS-Belt construction, a technology trickled down from Bridgestone's racing tires, which improves the contact area with the road surface and enhances cornering grip. A revised molecular approach in the compound formulation utilizes smaller carbon particles to improve the tire's bite and communication to the rider. The use of 3LC (3 Layer Compound) on both the front and rear tires further contributes to greater grip, increased cornering stability, and improved feedback. The groove pattern, inspired by the Battlax Racing R11, maintains street tire performance while being track capable.
While optimized for dry conditions, the RS11 also incorporates features to enhance wet performance. A new groove design improves water dispersion compared to its predecessor. The Bridgestone Battlax Racing Street RS11, with a UTQG treadwear rating of 75, represents a fusion of racing technology and street-riding practicality.
