By fusing the MotoGP heritage of the Battlax brand with the proven performance of Battle Wing, Bridgestone has created an Adventure tire that delivers enhanced traction and stability, particularly on wet surfaces, and greater durability. The goal of Bridgestone engineers was to significantly improve Battle Wing’s dry and wet handling – without sacrificing its high-level stability and durability – giving adventure bikers greater pleasure and safety on all roads and in all conditions. This has been achieved with Battlax Adventure A40 by improving dry handling without loss of stability: a new front tire profile produces a larger contact area at high lean angles for better cornering grip; larger tread blocks add stiffness for more cornering stability; and Bridgestone’s mono-spiral belt construction on the front tire improves shock absorption, for greater rider comfort and less fatigue. Wet performance has been improved by the revised compound incorporating Bridgestone’s proprietary NanoPro-Tech technology which helps reduce heat generation caused by tire deformation. At the same time, Bridgestone has re-engineered the A40 tread patterns to upgrade wet performance and stability.
- Bridgestone Battlax A40 V-rated radial motorcycle tire is designed for Adventure motorcycle applications.
- The new Battlax Adventure A40 expands the all-weather potential of trail radials for the great number of bikers who ride their adventure machines primarily for on-road touring.
- Redesigned groove angles and layout on the front tread pattern enhance cornering stability, and reduce uneven wear.
- Bridgestone’s mono-spiral belt construction on the front tire improves shock absorption, for greater rider comfort and less fatigue.
- The layout of the grooves on the rear tire facilitate larger blocks, for added stiffness, which provides more stability during cornering.
