outstanding grip and sporty handling!

The Battlax Hypersport S22 will be available as original equipment on the two 2022 models, the Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX and the Ninja H2 SX SE. Thanks to pioneering technologies, the Battlax S22 enables outstanding grip and sporty handling – both on wet and dry roads.

The Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S22 has been selected by Kawasaki for their all-new 2022 high-performance sports tourer models as original equipment. The Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX and Ninja H2 SX SE were launched on November 23, 2021.


Bridgestone is proud to contribute to Kawasaki Motors' motorcycle portfolio, reflecting the long history of joint development between the two companies. Bridgestone Battlax high-performance tyres actively support motorsport in various racing series. Two examples are the World Endurance Championship (FIM[1] Endurance World Championchip, EWC) and the All Japan Road Race series, in which the premium tyre manufacturer is expanding and expanding its technologies in practice.

Based on motorsport experience, technologies have been developed that are also used in the Battlax Hypersport S22 for the Ninja H2 SX series. Together with the new tread compound, the special tyre design combines durability and safer grip at high speeds. In addition, the optimised stiffness of the tyre contributes to the sporty handling and outstanding grip of the Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S22. On the Ninja H2 SX series, this translates into superior performance and comfortable handling – from urban areas to highways and winding country roads.

The Ninja H2 SX Series offers performance at the highest level combined with long-distance comfort – features that make this high-performance sports tourer special. The all-new 2022 models are equipped with Advanced Rider Assistance Systems (ARAS) and other standalone engine and body features. They combine optics and touring potential and make the series the flagship of Kawasaki.
