Bridgestone Battlax S22 Hypersport Rear Motorcycle Tire

Been a Bridgestone guy for a while now. Had the s20’s, s21’s, and now the s22’s. Each tire gets better and better. Tire has great grip and seems to be getting great mileage too!

I have ridden the Bridgestone S 21’s so I’m familiar with this tires characteristics. So far this new tire displays the same level of confidence and predictability when turning in as the 21’s. Grip was never an issue with the 21s and I don’t see that it’s an issue with this tire either as they are very sticky! My rating on tire life is based on my last experience with 21s...it was not uncommon to get 4500 to 5000 miles out of the tire. So far so great with the 22’s...no complaints.

Confidence inspiring for a first time track event and on the road

Unable to speak on longevity but the grip on these is great. Running on both my z900 and speed triple. I am able to lean further without sliding, great traction on dry or damp pavement.

I have these currently installed on two of my bikes. 848 and VTR1000f. They feel just amazing in the twisties. I typically get 1000 miles out of a set and I am around 1400 on the 848 with about half tread left. My buddy who is a Dragon Slayer, is getting just over 3000 miles out of a set doing eleven miles at a time on an R1200R. For our riding conditions, these tires are GREAT! I just installed a set on my wife's newest bike a CBR600RR and I am confedent that she will absolutely enjoy them.

For the past 3 tire changes I have used Pirelli. I wanted to try the new Bridgestone S22 since the last bridgestone I used is BT016. After changing the tires I took it to a trackday. It was so grippy that I can push from Lap 2 onwards. I believe the soft compound on the edge is wearing out little faster but far better than Pirelli. I ran 34F32R at 100 degree weather at the track. I just did 2 trackdays and can see visible edge scrub on the tires. I will update next week with I complete another 2 trackdays this weekend

After 4 sets of S21's, this is my first set of S22's and they're working great for me so far. The grip is outstanding and they look to be wearing about like I'd expect. On my S1000RR I'm estimating they'll get about 1,800 miles, which is about what I'd expect with my riding style.

So far they are great , haven't rode in the rain yet or long enough to know tread life.

Great street tires. Good grip, decent wear and great price.

Great tires. My bike originally came with S20 Evo which were excellent. After that I got the S21r. Also excellent. Now the S22 is no surprise also excellent. They feel very stable and drama free even at good lean angles. Also got decent mileage and good in wet conditions. Great price.

Only got about 100 miles on them yet, but they corner great.

I replaced my old S21 with this newer version and so far it seems really good. Have only done 1 trackday with it under less than optimal conditions but it did really well. Grip and feel is outstanding. Just ordered another one due to the Bridgestone rebate program. I can't comment on treadlife or wet traction but my S21 tire got about 4k miles before replacing so we'll see how long this one goes...

2008 suzuki hayabusa 1300R i enjoy riding with these tires on excellent handling

I would say these tires do very well, much comparable to the S21 in turn-in and max grip, but better in the wet and seemingly longer tread life (so far). I definitely still prefer the Q3+ on the track and on hot mountain pavement, these don't heat up *quite* as quickly and don't offer nearly the same amount of drive out of tighter bends. I would say, just from the first few K's on these, that they should last longer than the Dunlops and the S21 Predecessor. Hard to tell until I run them down, though I expect somewhere between 8 and 10k miles of life out of these considering the maximum I have gotten on previous tires (S21, Q3, Q3+, GPR300, Pilot Power, PP2CT, etc etc..) has been around 8k and these are looking like they are wearing in a bit slower. will update review after a track day or two and a few thousand more miles, or when I wear them out.
I will say, for the price these are listed, plus the current rebates, I doubt you will find a better set of tires for the price. Worthy purchase!

Bought these to test out Bridgestones lastest and they didn't disappoint. I've stuck with the s21 for the last few years and been very happy with them. They made big claims about more grip and lighter handling with the s22 while keeping the same longevity so we'll see how that shakes out. So far, the tires feel excellent.
