I went to a test-riding of BRIDGESTONE S21 in Tsukuba Circuit, course 1000. This time, I\u2019m going to introduce S21.<\/p>\n

Overview of the riding-event<\/h2>\n

Place : Tsukuba Circuit, course 1000
\nWeather : Occasionally fair
\nRoad : Dry<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t say \u201cIt is fine weather!\u201d But, it was not too cold nor too hot.\u00a0Furthermore, as it was held at Course 1000, the speed was like for touring or riding in town.\u00a0It was started by the opening ceremony, and then, dividing people in each group, test-ride started!\u00a0There were not only SS like YZF-R1 but also MT-09 and GSX-S1000.\u00a0There were four groups and each group had about 10 vehicles.<\/p>\n

Test Motorcycle & Tire<\/h2>\n

Models:<\/strong>
\n\u00b7MT-09 with S20EVO
\n\u00b7MT-09 with S21
\n\u00b7YZF-R1 with S21
\n\u00b7GSX-S1000 with S21
\n\u00b7GSX-S1000 with S20EVO<\/p>\n

Air Pressure:<\/strong>
\nF :2.50
\nR :2.60 (usually 2.90)<\/p>\n

We, both, rode on the same motorcycle and can compare S21 and S20EVO.
\nThough MT-09 and GSX-S1000 are naked, those are a sport-oriented type.<\/p>\n

Impression of riding<\/h2>\n

As an impression after riding, S21 was quicker to lean the front than S20EVO.\u00a0Though leaning was quick, the rear was leaned a little later, and I could accelerate smoothly at the exit.\u00a0It was GSX-S1000 that I felt the difference remarkably.\u00a0Compared with YZF-R1, easiness to control acceleration was clearer by the easiness of leaning the front and stability of the rear.\u00a0In case of YZF-R1, as it was actually good at leaning, I felt like it was more easy to ride because of the multiplier effect.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cEasiness of leaning\u201d is like the image that the motorcycle can lean in the same way as I steer to the opposite before the corner with S20EVO.\u00a0This tire is very suitable for those who want a little more active riding during touring.\u00a0I can clearly feel the improvement that S20EVO doesn\u2019t have.\u00a0The reason is that there is hardly seen the edgier part than S20EVO.<\/p>\n
