Got a thirst for knowledge that extends to the markings on your bike's tyres? Allow us to quench that for you...
I wanted a tyre suitable for Winter and wet weather. It handles well in the cold and is decent in the wet, although haven't used it in full wet conditions yet, but being in Scotland, I'm sure that'll happen soon enough...
From cold, there is a good level of grip available which aids confidence on the icy mornings.
The Battlax A41 features a high-tech mono-spiral belt that delivers both rigidity and high-level damping performance for a smooth, comfortable ride. A high contact patch in combination with high grip compound provides a breakthrough in tricky conditions. Increased sea/land ratio at the shoulder area to find the right balance between rigidity and deformation for maximum feedback and confidence. Optimised groove position enables large block sizes for high tread stiffness and greater friction, even on wet surfaces.
