(Bridgestone/) The Battlax Hypersport S23 (right) is a finely tuned upgrade over the popular S22 (left), which will still be available. (Bridgestone/) Closer look at the areas where Bridgestone has refined the S23. (Bridgestone/) As with the S22, the S23 front has three zones and the rear five zones.
