Does anyone know when/if this new model is available in Canada yet? If so Where, sizes etc....

Thank you
 
Not available in Europe until later this month and Japan in February so I doubt you'll see it here prior to Spring.

bummer... hopefully when i need em, they show up!

thx
 
I've got my eye on these tires too. They were released in Europe on Jan 1st and will be released in Japan on February 1st. I hope that means they'll be released in Canada/US by March or April.

If anyone finds an actual review of these tires (not any of the marketing hype currently available) please post it up.

Here's a link to a comparison between the BT016 Pro and the S20. It also includes the sizes that the S20 will be available in.

so far I've loved the 016 (non pro) on my bike, might have to give these a shot if the price is reasonable...

The Pros are a lot better in the wet compared to the non-pros. Pros won a European wet weather test for Hypersport tires. The S20's are supposed to be even better all around: wet, warm up, dry grip....

The S20 are the tires I will be buying this spring. Hopefully they are available this spring here.

In a 2010 Motorcyce USA tire test of 10 tires the 16 beat the Michelin 2CT, especially at hot side grip when the 2CT's get greasy. 2CT are an approximately 6 year old tire in fairness.

I emailed Bridgestone this week and actually got a reply back. The S20s will be available in the US and Canada in April. He didn't give me a specific date though. Hopefully they do what they did in Europe and Japan and release it on the 1st.
