ADVENTURE BIKE TYRES | Bridgestone AX41 Review

I got the chance to spend 3 days in Portugal testing the Bridgestone A41, AT41 and AX41 Tyres for Adventure Bikes and specifically tested them on the main 10 Market Leaders Adventure Bikes from the BMW GS1300 to the Tenere 700 to the KTM 890 Rally. Here is my take and my feeling with the different models.

Thanks for the review. I've been using AX41s on my Tenere 700 since the OEMs wore out. Very happy with the road performance/grip. They are also a bit lighter construction on sidewalls than some other tires which makes them easy to replace. I'm pretty easy on tires and get 6000km minimum out of the rear, 10000 from the front

I always ran battleaxes on my sport bikes, they're really good but I can never justify the price on my f800gs. I rip back tires to shreds every 2-3k and I can't afford $275 a tire every month. Great review though. We gotta get Manuel some more subs, 26k is nothing for this quality of content.

Nice review, having insights into how it made you feel riding with the various bikes was good, looking to buy now.

Loved the AX41s on my T700. Amazing on road. Super in gravel/sand/rock. Do not recommend in mud. Only trade off for me was short life. I destroyed a rear in 1400 miles on TET in Pyrenees

How's the longevity on the front?

[@jonarmstrong7392]

Hi! Defo better than on the rear as you’d expect. Front probably could’ve done two rears. Just made the same trip on Motoz. Grip far superior. Wear minimal but road noise off the scale and road grip not so good. Always a compromise

@@jonarmstrong7392 Thanks!

[@kiwigjt]

Have you used a TKC 80? If so, how would you say it compares for longevity?

[@KIM_AdventureExplorer]

Belle gomme. Provate sul 790 per un periodo. In crisi un po’ sul bagnato pesante/fango ma nel utilizzo 50/50 sono perfette. A me però sono durate poco xke sono abbastanza morbide

[@enricomanca8534]

Quanto poco?
Sto valutando la scelta per equipaggiare una T7extreme.
Grazie

@@enricomanca8534 eh ma io ne faccio uso intensivo..forse 3000km a far bello

[@enricomanca8534]

@@KIM_AdventureExplorer con un uso fuoristradistico intenso non è male. Ti ringrazio.

[@KIM_AdventureExplorer]

@@enricomanca8534 attualmente ho mitas e mi trovo bene anche con quelle. Poi dipende da come guidi. Guarda Marco Iob che ci ha fatto il trofeo con cerchio e gomma semistradale

Manuel; please test/review the Husky 701 & Touareg 660. And: isn't there a BMW on this ~650cc adventure/enduro class??

[@Welter87]

Thanks! I'll give it a try on my next set!
