Battlax Hypersport S23

The BATTLAX HYPERSPORT S23 allows you to experience the full
extent of the ever-increasing power and performance of
modern-day sport bikes on the road.

The brand-new edge compound allows for impressive feedback
and cornering performance at high lean angle.

An updated pattern, incorporating the PULSE GROOVE,
contributes to the tyre’s impressive wet weather performance.

Technology

Pulse Groove

Pulse- shaped groove and deflector optimizes water flow
Improved water drainage and better grip and adhesion in wet conditions
* Drainage Resistance Index = Level of water pressure
The higher the water pressure, the more slippery –
because there is water between the tyre and the road surface.

     

    Compound & Construction

    New compound for front shoulder & rear edge with optimised resin components to enhance grip characteristics.

    Grip improver is a material that improves grip by making it easier to follow the road surface.

    Carbon reinforces the spring-like polmer, preventing the polymer from shrinking and by consequence losing grip.

     

    Pattern Design

    1. New pattern design, including PULSE GROOVE in the rear for better wet performance
    2. Optimised land/sea ratio in the shoulder area and pattern stiffness
    • In the front for DRY handling and stability in DRY
      and WET
    • In the rear for traction improvement

     

    Dry Performance Improvement

    • Increased cornering speed by 5%
    • 1% faster Dry lap time

       

      Wet Performance Improvement

      • Traction improved

      • 3% shorter WET braking distance

      • 4% faster WET lap time
