Greet review. I have the AX41 on my r1200gs which I use on and off road. They are great. Really good on the trails and the quietest on road adventure tires I’ve used. I had tractionator adventures, Shinko 804/5, anakee wilds and now AX41’s. The AX have been the best so far. However, they are a bit sketchy in the wet. Had then out in a 4 hour storm last week and that tested them severely. It was so bad the rear tyre was hydroplaning under power. That being said, I slowed down a bit and they were fine. In the dry, they handle the pavement really well, and off road they are confidence inspiring on a heavy bike.

[@chaparralmotorsports]

Thank you for your message Digby. Great feedback. We did not experience the lack of performance in wet weather that you did... hydroplaning sounds sketchy. Your views between the other tires you have ridden are right in-line with how I am feeling after having run them all myself... Great tire Bridgestone! -- Kyle & the Chap Moto Team

[@digbywilkinson5565]

​@@chaparralmotorsportsthanks for the response. In fairness to the tire in wet weather, I was in a massive storm and the roads suffered from rather bad tar snakes which caused the sketchy and hydroplaning behaviour when wet. I don't think any tire would have behaved better. Slowing down a bit made a big difference. I had total confidence in the tire, but not the road. As always, ride to the conditions available. I am totally impressed with the AX41 as a knobbly covering all conditions well.

Just got my new AX41s mounted on the wheels, going onto the bike this afternoon. Nothing but canyons and endless gravel roads here in coastal Southern Oregon! Replacing Shinko 705s which were good on the road but danced around in the gravel a little too much. O3 1000 V Strom. Will update later.

[@marcjohnson7882]

Just rode 50 miles of twisty pavement and 16 miles of mountain gravel roads. Complete confidence on gravel, these tires transformed the bike. I don’t care about loud tires on pavement because I come from a dirt bike and 4X4 background, but yes, they are louder than a street tire but in a fun, menacing way. They held well on tight turns and sweepers, zero knob squirm, no dancing around, and I’m riding a 500lb 1000 V Strom. They are actually quieter in a turn which tells me they put some science in rather than simply slapping rows of paddles across a carcass like the TKC80s and the Shinko 805s. The grip so far is confidence inspiring overall, tread wear is yet to be seen. Going straight, to be honest, they feel best when kept below 70mph, but I’m not about to slab it across five states, I’m riding twisties and dirt. Overall I am initially very happy with this purchase.

[@mp2140]

Once going onto deep sand or wet mud, one should deflate tyres significantly (by >50%). It makes even a heavy enduro bike a completely different animal.

[@chaparralmotorsports]

Yes, this is true. Airing down is a key "tool" to use when the going gets tough. I personally like 30 psi for an all around solo rider pressure that works well in most cases. I have found (through blown out tires) that some tires don't allow much air down due to their very soft sidewalls. Stiffer sidewalls like the K60 Scout and Motoz Adventure tires can nearly be run flat the sidewalls are so stiff... Thanks for watching and for your comments. -- Kyle & the Chap Moto Team

Hello Kyle if you had to do this video again in the same conditions, would keep this tire or rather have the Anakee wild on and also which tire would give you better mileage

Hi Paolo, thanks for watching our video. For the price and overall performance/value I'd probably go with the AX41. If I was heavily concerned about getting the most mileage then I'd go with the Anakee.

[@danielabramzon7806]

Great review. I just order a pair for my africa twin and will be putting them on once the Shinkos wear out. In have a question about pressure. The max PSI on the rear is 35. The AT recommends 42. I believe the BMW you tested them on does as well. So did you run then below recommended pressure? Its already a fast wearing tire. I imagine running aired down will not help.

[@yetiboy01australia23]

Great review Kyle, Im looking for a new set of tyres for my Africa Twin, Im currently running Motoz Desert HT tyres but want to replace them with something thats a bit better on the road without giving up to much off road ability, How about doing a comparison test between the Bridgestone Battlax Adventurecross AX41 & the Michelin Anekee Wild tyres as they look very similar in performace to each other from the separate tests you have done. Be interested to see which tyre you prefer.

[@chaparralmotorsports]

Thank you for your inquiry. I have used all of these tires. The Bridgestone AX41 has become my favorite On-Road-Knobbie tire. Unlike the other two tires, the AX41 gives amazing road feedback, similar to a sportbike tire. The Anakee Wild is a great tire too, but if feels very "cloud like" for more than a thousand miles. The blocks are tall and they move under the bike and that feeling is a little hard for some to get used to... I have yet to wear out a set of the AX41's but I think the Anakee Wild will end up getting at least 1 to 2 thousand more miles over the AX41 which is showing quite a bit of wear on my KTM 1190... and I have only 1,500 miles on the tires. Your request of a side by side comparison has been noted and I will add it to our list. -- Kyle & the Chap Moto Team

Ax41s or the new dunlop trailmax mission?

[@chaparralmotorsports]

Well the AX41 is my favorite feeling 50/50+ BUT... I get about 2k miles out of the rear. It is great feeling, but that is not acceptable. The TrailMax Mission tire should roll for about 6k to 8k miles and has pretty similar off-road performance. Specific terrain you ride really plays a big part of which tire is best. -- Kyle & the Chap Moto Team

Thank you for your inquiry. The Scorpion STR was great on the street and this AX41 is in the same realm. The AX41 does provide the best road feedback of any full knobby tire I have run.

Hi Kyle. If you had a distance of 600 kilometers on asphalt with rain and snow and normal contitions, also some very slipery asphalt roads but also on paths with soil, sand, stone, etc. 100 km at most. Contitions the same as those you tested in the AX41. Generally the routes are more on the asphalt and with difficult conditions than on the soil. A 90/10% ratio. But when I get into the dirty roads I have requirements.What would you choose for tires? How near are AX41 to A41 on asphalt roads?

[@chaparralmotorsports]

Great questions. The A41 I found to be a great road tire, but it struggled off road. The AX41 is a bit more bumpy on-road but did have great feedback. I really like them. Just mounted the AX41 on my 390 Duke ... that will be fun. Personally I I run a more aggressive dirt tire on-road too... as when the going gets dirty I don't want any compromises. -- Kyle & the Chap Moto Team

The AX41. The Karoo 3 is sketchy for on-road for the first bit. Takes a while to break in and get used to ... The AX41 is good-to-go out of the box and has amazing street characteristics as compared to the Karoo 3. That being said, I get about 1k more miles out of the Karoo 3 than I do out of the AX41. Wet weather, the AX41 kills the K3... no comparison. Deep mud, the K3 is the winner. They each have strong points and weaknesses... You really can't go wrong with either... but if given the choice I'd pick a set of AX41's every time... UNLESS they were out of stock ;) then I'd run the K3 without hesitation.

It is super slippery for at least 1k miles... only then did it become fun to ride. Karoo 3 tire is very knobby and vibrates on the road at speed and very much so when coming to a stop. It did handle ANYTHING I threw at it. I did get about 4k miles out of my Karoo 3 tires. The AX41 I have been on for just over 1,500 miles now and I think that they will not last as long as the Karoo 3. The AX41 tire is smooth on the pavement and does provide the best high speed canyoning feel of any 50/50 or knobbier tire. I really like them. Yes, better than the Karoo 3. - Kyle

I feel like all these adv tire reviews should be compared directly to the K60. Or Motoz GPS. The K60 seems like it’s made the biggest compromise to be super long lasting on the Hwy while trying to remain at least a little bit aggressive off road. As opposed to most 50/50 or 60/40 tires really are just street tires imo.

[@chaparralmotorsports]

Great feedback Kermit. We are running the 50/50 tires and the 80/20 tires and will compare all of the tires in each category respectively. Beginning of July the full test results will be released. The K60 is a great tire I have run 5 times on three different bikes. It LASTS a long time... and it works okay. It does not perform in the dirt as well as the GPS and for sure is not a "road worthy" in cold and wet as most of these tires. Thanks for watching!

sorry to hear that.

[@peterr9685]

These 50/50 tyres seems to be so good on road wet or dry. Doesnt seem like there is any reason to buy 80/20 tyres at all? Many thanks.

[@chaparralmotorsports]

Yeah they are really great tires but mileage-wise they don't compare to a good set of 80/20 tires. Thanks for watching.

@@jacqueslongpre2927 have you mounted the Ax41 on the cb500x ? How well did they perform ? And if you do some off road , what is your rear suspension position?

So much negative profile Ort valley will eat up every nail on the Street of Sharp edged stones. Tire punctures programmed

Time will tell. They did feel great, but longevity / durability has yet to be tested. Thanks for watching. - Kyle & the Chap Moto Team

[@egevolvedsimrigs]

What tire pressures were used for the test on the AX41's?

[@chaparralmotorsports]

The sidewall says MAX LOAD 35 PSI on both front and rear tires - riding solo with no luggage, we ran 30 psi Front and Rear. -- Kyle & the Chap Moto Team

Is it noisy?

[@chaparralmotorsports]

Hi, what do you consider noisy? Noise level can be different for different riders-especially those that are very sensitive to noise. Other factors can come into play as well such as, the type of surface you are traveling on, how much noise your motorcycle makes (exhaust/mechanical), how well your helmet protects you from external sounds etc. In our opinion, they are not extremely loud/noisy.
