2025 Sport and Hypersport Motorcycle Tyre Test
The Bridgestone S23 is a sport tyre released the year before the test that demonstrates a small time deficit on the track but a significant advantage on the wet handling course compared to its hypersport counterpart. Its strongest attributes include crystal-clear feedback at the front, ultra-precise and light-footed turn-in characteristics, and high stability at corner entry. When powering out of corners, it introduces some instability into the rear, and the test BMW began sliding relatively early compared to other tyres. However, with gentle throttle application, these slides remain easily controllable. It was one of three tyres showing premature wear during the test, but its excellent wet-weather performance—achieving the second-best wet lap time among all sport tyres and the fifth-best overall—confirms its impressive qualities in challenging conditions.
