The Bridgestone-backed YART Yamaha team has won the 2025 FIM Endurance World Championship (EWC) title on Bridgestone BATTLAX tires. This marks the fifth consecutive EWC championship and the sixth overall for a Bridgestone-supported team.
Here are a few highlights from the 2025 season:
-
YART Yamaha secured the championship title by taking second place at the Bol d’Or season finale at the Circuit Paul Richard in Le Castellet, France, on September 20-21, 2025.
-
The top four teams in the final championship standings were all equipped with Bridgestone BATTLAX tires, a testament to the tires’ performance and durability.
-
The 2025 championship saw Bridgestone increase its role as sole tire supplier to five EWC teams.
The FIM EWC is the ultimate test of durability and performance, with races lasting anywhere from eight to 24 hours. Bridgestone’s motorcycle racing program serves as a “mobile laboratory,” with the innovations and technology refined under the extreme conditions of endurance racing directly informing the development of consumer motorcycle tires for the street.
