From 2026 Bridgestone will become the NZSBK series' official tyre.
The two-year deal will reduce costs for riders, provide a level of consistency and support the long-term commercial sustainability of the sport.
This partnership with Bridgestone, through New Zealand distributor Whites Powersports Group, is a step towards ensuring the future of NZSBK and fostering the next generation of riders.
“The fundamental outcome for us is to assist in making road-racing in New Zealand cheaper and more accessible to the racing community,” Whites Powersports Group General Manager Adrian Cox says.
“We will also provide a consistent supply of stock to ensure a better service and experience for the NZSBK participants.”
Bridgestone representatives will attend all rounds from 2026, where extra tyres will be available for purchase.
A list of all tyres applicable for each NZSBK class can be found below.
Bridgestone slicks are sized in width/rolling diameter, rather than the traditional width/aspect ratio. Rolling diameter is measured in millimeters (mm).
This is to assist with loading accurate dimensions into data trackers, traction control configurations, etc.
