Bridgestone presents the Battlax Adventure A41 tyre, Type G original equipment for the Suzuki V-Strom 650 2020:

Product concept:

To provide Trail riders, of medium or large displacement, with a tyre that will become their essential travel companion, with key advantages of confidence and the best feel on the track. A tyre for all weather conditions and surfaces, with grip that is never compromised, capable of taking the rider wherever they wish.

Technical features:

• Improved grip and handling on wet terrain, focusing on low temperatures
• Responsiveness and road feel through the tyre
• Enhanced stability in corners and at high speeds in a straight line
• No compromise on tyre longevity
  

Methodology:

• Optimisation of water evacuation and block deformation
• Composition and construction (3LC + Cap and base) – better road contact feel, increased grip and stability
• Improvement of contact surface and pressure distribution
  

Summary:

• Improvements in all areas
• Better grip on wet surfaces and improved feel (8% gain per lap on wet surfaces)
• No compromise on tyre longevity
  

To help you understand better, here are some explanations that will help you decipher the markings on motorcycle tyres:

• Dimensions: tyre width in millimetres and height of the tyre as a percentage of that width. E.g. 190/55, for 190 mm wide and 55% high
• Construction: radial (ZR, or R) or diagonal (B), both tyres must be identical in this respect
• Diameter: expressed in inches, e.g. 17 or 19
• Load index: maximum load the tyre can support
• Speed index: maximum speed the tyre can support
• M/C indicator: tyre purpose, M/C for motorcycles
• With or without inner tube: TL ("tubeless") for tubeless tyres, TT ("tubetype") with inner tube

In some specific cases, other markings may appear, generally associated with the tyre's trade name. Here are a few:

• A: Kawasaki
• C, F or GT: BMW specification
• E or B: Special carcass for heavy or loaded motorcycles
• G: Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha, BMW specification
  
• GTW: Heavy, fast and powerful Grand Touring motorcycles
• H: Original Honda specification
• K: Very fast motorcycles
• M: Original equipment for Suzuki
• N: For Aprilia, Honda, Ducati, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, Triumph
• RF: Reinforced tyre
• WW: White-walled tyre

Other less significant references are also found on the sidewalls of motorcycle tyres (country of manufacture, DOT marking, etc.)
Remember to regularly check your tyre pressure, as it ensures longevity and superior performance!
