P106 STUFF I BRIDGESTONE BATTLAX RACING STREET RS12 TIRES $ TBA www.bridgestoneamericas.com Bridgestone's Racing Street RS12 tires are race-derived, street-legal tires that deliver the "highest level of dry-grip performance in the road-legal tire lineup of Battlax," according to Bridgestone. Built with new compounds, the new tread pattern has an optimized groove ratio to enhance rigidity. The front tire uses HE-MS Belt technology—adopted for the first time in a commercial Battlax tire—which utilizes a flexible belt to equalize contact pressure to enhance grip. The tire line will be released in January 2026 in one front and three rear sizes. ACERBIS TF 250-X SKID PLATE $94.95 www.acerbisusa.com Acerbis has a new skid plate to fit the 2026 Triumph TF 250-X model. The black skid plate safeguards the engine cases, frame rails and other vital components from rocks, roots, and trail debris. It is crafted from lightweight, durable polypropylene, which is quieter and generates less vibrations than its aluminum counterparts. Precision-molded for an OEM fit, it has strategically placed openings to prevent debris buildup and also to provide access to the bike for cleaning and maintenance.
