Description
Bridgestone built the Battlax Racing Street RS11R to answer a simple question – how do you keep grip consistent as the tire heats up over a long ride or a full track session. 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 rear of a sport bike built to handle real corners, this tire is sized 200/55ZR17 M/C 78W 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 200/55ZR17 M/C 78W TL specification for rear 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 rear tire is not a generic replacement pattern stretched across sizes; it is built specifically at 200/55ZR17 M/C 78W 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.
Sport tires are not universal, so cross check this size against your bike’s manual or your worn tire’s sidewall first. IPD Racing carries this tire for exactly this kind of replacement order.
