2025 Sport and Hypersport Motorcycle Tire Test

11th of 12 tires

• The Bridgestone RS11 is a hypersport tire that delivered mixed results in the test. Its stiff construction occasionally causes front chattering, offers only average feedback, becomes somewhat sluggish at medium to high lean angles, and grip breaks away rather abruptly when pushed hard. The overall grip level itself is acceptable, but these handling characteristics impact rider confidence. On the wet handling course, it performed better than several other hypersport options but still ranked 10th overall in wet lap times, highlighting the compromises made for dry track performance. It represents the traditional hypersport approach of maximizing dry grip at the expense of wet-weather capability and ease of use.
