The New Bridgestone RE-11 was released in Japan in January. They have seem to have a made a huge impact already. They seem to be not a 100% evolution of the RE-01R cause the tread pattern, cause the asymmetrical design(Even tho on the Bridgestone Japanese site they were comparing the 2). First impressions are saying that the sidewalls are softer, this giving a better ride comfort. But the level of grip is still retained at a very high level! Here are some more PIX!]]> http://www.hfortysixit.com/bridgestone-re-11-first-impression/feed/ 0 http://www.hfortysixit.com/bridgestone-re-11-video-info/ http://www.hfortysixit.com/bridgestone-re-11-video-info/#comments Sat, 23 Feb 2008 07:56:51 +0000 hfortysixit http://hfortysixit.wordpress.com/?p=151 #leftcontainerBox { float:left; position: fixed; top: 60%; left: 70px; } #leftcontainerBox .buttons { float:left; clear:both; margin:4px 4px 4px 4px; padding-bottom:2px; } #bottomcontainerBox { height: 30px; width:50%; padding-top:1px; } #bottomcontainerBox .buttons { float:left; height: 30px; margin:4px 4px 4px 4px; } Diginfo news has released a video of the new Bridgestone RE-11.
