Seventeen riders on Bridgestone BATTLAX racing tires set 31 outright lap records throughout the 2024 Bridgestone Canadian Superbike Championship Series (CSBK) season, with new records achieved at every round.

In the second year as the exclusive CSBK tire provider, Bridgestone delivered exceptional performance and support to all participating teams and riders throughout the season.

Bridgestone supported the Bagger Racing League as the series made its international debut at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park as part of CSBK.

Bridgestone Americas (Bridgestone) today announced a record-setting year of performance during the 2024 Bridgestone Canadian Superbike Championship Series (CSBK) season. During the 2024 season, 17 riders on Bridgestone BATTLAX racing tires set 31 total outright lap records, with new records established at every round. This marks the company’s second season as the exclusive tire provider for CSBK, with Bridgestone BATTLAX racing tires delivering the grip and consistency that contributed to record-setting lap times.

The addition of RAD Torque Raceway in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada to the 2024 season provided several Western Canadian riders the opportunity to compete in a CSBK race for the first time on Bridgestone BATTLAX racing tires. Riders unfamiliar with BATTLAX racing tires experienced fast and consistent lap times on a track notorious for its demanding conditions.
