The new flagship model for Bridgestone in the adventure category, the BATTLAX ADVENTURE A41 tire (A41), offers enhanced wet performance and stability in comparison to its predecessor, the BATTLAX ADVENTURE A40 tire (A40), while also maintaining the same level of wear life performance. In developing the A41 tire, Bridgestone placed particular emphasis on shortening braking distance and improving cornering grip on wet surfaces to contribute safety trip in unpredictable weather.

The new tread pattern of the A41 tire features increased groove ratios on the tire’s shoulder to allow for better water dispersion and improved wet performance. The middle of the tire has a reduced groove ratio for shorter braking distance under wet conditions.

• Increase groove ratio at shoulder part. Better wet performance due to improved water drainage
• High-angled grooves are arranged on shoulder part. High-angled grooves gives larger contact patch and even contact pressure. Better cornering grip on WET road
• Reduce groove ratio at middle part. Improve WET braking performance and DRY straight line stability due to higher block rigidity

Bridgestone sought to improve grip under low temperature conditions through tire compounding, and this has contributed to the A41 tire’s increased grip on wet surfaces. In addition, the front tire uses 3LC (dual compound) tread while the rear tire uses 3LC+CAP&BASE tread to secure sufficient grip on dry surfaces.

Bridgestone has utilized its ULTIMAT EYE™ measurement technology to visualize the dynamic movement of tires when driving. Based on these measurements, the company has reduced the slippage area in the rear contact patch of tire in comparison to the A40 tire in order to improve wet cornering grip.
