Bridgestone s 21

hic2wo · Jun 18, 2016

Had a pair of s21 fitted to my Speed triple today , Never thought I would say this but they feel nearly as grippy as my Supercorsas which were almost finished within 1300 miles . Hopefully these will work much better in the rain and last much better too . 30 miles after having fitted tyre was taken right to the edges, such was my confidence in them , Nice profile which still allows to drop into corners nice.
Will update with mileage and conditions . Would hope for at least 2.5k out of them .

I'm having a pair fitted today in readiness for a Castle Combe trackday on Weds.
Only just got my Triple and have only used 020's & 023's on previous bikes in the past Will be interesting to see the difference in performance compared to the Metz M3's that I'm currently running.

2600 miles and wear bar starting to show in centre area , funny thing is mostly used on really twisty roads and the soft sides have hardly worn . Normally my tyres wear the other way around ! Still better than the 1400 miles from Supercorsas . I would use these again , grippy and work ok in the wet . Going to try T30S next . Anybody used them before . I normally use sports tyres but after riding a mates gsx 1000r with bt23s I fancy trying a set of sport/touring tyres . I was surprised how grippy the 23s were.

If your'e not going to do track days, sport touring tyres are all you will ever need for the road.. no matter how hard you ride

I use the Bridgestone BT023 (only because thats what the bike came with!) but have found them to be much better than the 21's that were fitted to my old bandit. I feel a lot more confident to lean the bike especially in the wet.

A good review here by Ron Haslam...
