Bridgestone Corporation announced the global debut of the BATTLAX ADVENTURE A42 motorcycle tire on October 22, 2026. The new model replaces the BATTLAX ADVENTURE A41, serving as Bridgestone's primary road-focused offering for adventure touring riders.
The tire is engineered specifically for riders operating modern heavyweight dual-sport and touring machines who spend the majority of their miles on paved backroads and highways. According to Bridgestone, the A42 incorporates an updated tread design and compound that improves upon the previous A41 generation.
Key performance updates over the predecessor include increased wet traction, enhanced stability at high speeds, and extended tread wear life. Sequential worldwide retail market distribution for the BATTLAX ADVENTURE A42 is scheduled to begin on January 1, 2027.
