Description
A front tire has to match the grip and feel of the rear it is paired with, and the Battlax Racing Street RS11F is built to hold up its end of that partnership. The Battlax Racing Street RS11 succeeded the RS10 and borrows heavily from the well-regarded R11 track tire, adapting that grip and feel for street-legal use. Mounted on the front of a sport bike built to handle real corners, this tire is sized 120/70ZR17 M/C 58W TL, matching the specification Bridgestone lists for this application, so the load rating, speed rating and construction called out on the original spec sheet carry straight through to this listing.
- Built for public roads with meaningful gains in cornering stability, handling and contact feel over the RS10
- Enhanced shoulder grooves widen the contact patch when the bike is leaned over for stronger grip at the limit
- Confidence-inspiring feedback whether you are riding a winding backroad or turning laps at a track day
- Radial construction matched to the demands of sport riding at speed
- Manufactured to the 120/70ZR17 M/C 58W TL specification for front fitment, keeping load index and speed rating exactly as Bridgestone rates this tire
Riders switching from a worn set of OE rubber or an older Battlax generation typically notice the change first in mid-corner stability, then in how the tire holds its line as speed builds through a sweeper. This front tire is not a generic replacement pattern stretched across sizes; it is built specifically at 120/70ZR17 M/C 58W TL so the contact patch, sidewall stiffness and tread geometry all match what Bridgestone engineered for this exact fitment. That matters more on a sport bike than on almost anything else on the road, since a rear or front tire that is even slightly off in profile changes turn-in speed and mid-corner line noticeably.
Confirm your bike calls for this exact size and speed rating before purchase, since sport tire fitment is not forgiving. IPD Racing stocks this tire for riders who want to stay on schedule with tire replacement.
