Bridgestone Claims Sixth Consecutive World Title

Demonstrating product performance and street-tech transfers, Bridgestone sweeps the top five overall positions in world endurance motorcycle racing.

Bridgestone Americas has highlighted the championship victory of the BMW Motorrad World Endurance Team at the 2026 FIM Endurance World Championship (FIM EWC) season finale at the Bol d’Or in France. Competing on Bridgestone BATTLAX race tires, all top five teams in the final overall standings ran on Bridgestone fitments, marking the brand’s sixth consecutive EWC championship win as a tire manufacturer.

For motorcycle tire retailers, powersports dealers, and performance tuners—including Canadian followers who watched five-time CSBK champion Ben Young contest EWC rounds—these grueling endurance results validate the casing structural integrity and compound durability of retail performance offerings. 

According to Bridgestone racing leadership, non-stop 24-hour endurance conditions provide critical testing grounds to refine rubber compounds and high-rigidity casing designs under its “From Circuit to Street” development philosophy.
