Bridgestone Corporation (Bridgestone) announces the launch of the BATTLAX ADVENTURECROSS AX41 tire, a new addition to its lineup of adventure touring motorcycle tires. The newest offering in the BATTLAX tire line features superior off-road performance and durability. The BATTLAX ADVENTURECROSS AX41 tire is engineered for predominantly off-road driving. This tire's superior off-road performance is the product of a high-rigidity compound as well as large blocks on the tire's perimeter that enable the tire to exhibit strong traction on muddy surfaces. The tire boasts a block cross-section area roughly 30 percent larger than the previous generation tire - this gives the new offering high grip and traction.
