The selection reinforces the collaboration between BMW Motorrad and Michelin, both world-renowned brands acclaimed for their expertise and exacting standards. MICHELIN Anakee Adventure will be exhibited on the BMW R 1250 GS at the EICMA motorcycle show Nov. 6–11 in Milan.
The MICHELIN Anakee Adventure tire joins Michelin’s versatile Adventure Touring tyre range alongside the existing MICHELIN Road 5 Trail tyre (for 100% road use), MICHELIN Anakee III tyre (for 90% road and 10% off-road use) and MICHELIN Anakee Wild tire (50% road and 50% off-road use).
This latest addition to the range, which is designed for 80% road use and 20% off-road use, means Michelin’s touring tire range now provides optimum performance for demanding riders across all aspects of adventure touring.
RS11 tyres are designed for these high performance motorcycles equipped with supercharged engines that can deliver strong acceleration and higher speeds, requiring enhanced handling and maneuvering controls, as well enhanced braking and turning stability.
A lot of research inside the scrambler and ‘café racer’ world has brought so many design ideas. The AX41S is the outcome of hours behind the drawing table. AX41S adopts the latest technologies in terms of compounding, a directly derivate from Bridgestone’s Sport-Touring category, to ensure the necessary road performances.
AX41S provides the perfect match for both a custom build scrambler thanks to its design, and for the rider through its performance. Bridgestone’s Battlax Adventurecross Scrambler AX41S is the tyre that takes care of the final look of your bike.
The Battlecross E50 is the outcome of years of off-road technology development. It is road homologated and can be used in all Enduro competitions. The Battlecross E50 has shown improvements in all performance areas and on all types of surfaces vs. its predecessor ED66X.
The new pattern design has increased dramatically the edge component of the blocks. +60 % in the front and +120% on the rear. This improves both cornering and traction grip.
As can be seen in this new pattern's name, the Battlax Adventurecross AX41 is real mix of Bridgestone’s know-how in the standard trail onroad category with Battlax technology and the state of the art development capacities of block positioning in the Off-road world with the Battlecross series.
The AX41 adopts ingenious block design and positioning to ensure onand off-road performance, durability and stability. Bridgestone’s Battlax Adventurecross AX41 sets a new standard for Trail – Off road performance.
The technical upgrades on the S22 show performance enhancements in all areas. So what we had created the ultimate hypersport tyre for all conditions ?
The S22 has adopted a new pattern design in line with the needs and requirements of hypersport users. The light handling brought by the tyre combined with its feedback and cornering performance for maximum confidence are a perfect match for any hypersport rider.
By adopting new compounding technology, Bridgestone’s hypersport flagship model is showing no compromise in wet and dry performance on top of increasing the total handling package. The Battlax Hypersport S22 will become the tyre partner taking your excitement and thrill of riding to the next level.

Marc Marquez — Repsol Honda Team:
“Really happy to be World Champion! Two years of Michelin and two world titles, this is a good thing for me. In the first part of the season it was quite difficult to understand the limit of the tyres, but then Michelin did an incredible job and solved all these issues and all the riders really started to enjoy riding. The season has been amazing and all the team and staff at Michelin helped me a lot and I want to say thanks, especially to Patrick — the guy that helps me in the box — because he retired today, and he was someone very special.”
BRIDGESTONE BATTLAX TOURING T31
In addition to boosting stability and handling performance, Bridgestone has developed a new front-tyre compound for T31 with higher rubber flexibility. This enhances the bite “feel” in the wet, giving riders more confidence in tricky conditions. Providing higher camber thrust due to a bigger contact patch in all lean angles is bringing the fun factor on Sport Touring bikes to a new level as dry handling improved as well next to the bigger steps in the wet conditions.²
BRIDGESTONE BATTLAX ADVENTURE A41
Bridgestone upgrades Battlax performance in the Adventure segment with the improved wet grip and handling of A41, without sacrificing the mileage of its A40 predecessor. The package features triple-layer compound technology on front and rear, with a cap & base configuration that improves cornering stability. Of particular interest for the majority of bikers who ride Adventure machines on road, Bridgestone tests recorded 8%³ faster lap times for the new Battlax A41 on a wet handling track demonstrating the extra performances and safety they will get on the road.
A41 becomes your NEW trail on road partner which makes your travel, whatever the condition, an undefinable experience. Trust and confidence were the aims of this full new development. The total performance package in dry and in particular wet conditions without sacrificing anything on wear life, made a big step forward. Never be afraid of sudden rain of wet weather conditions. By adopting multi-compound layer technology (3LC) for both front and rear in a cap and base configuration together with the innovative pattern design and groove positioning, it improves the water drainage and the grip level in tricky conditions. By revising the construction to find the right contact property in order to operate in harmony with the improved compound characteristics, the Battlax Adventure A41 is providing the confidence and contact feel needed to tackle the most incredible roads.
BRIDGESTONE SCOOTER SC2 / SC2 RAIN
Bridgestone has applied the new Battlax Sport-Touring T31 wet technology to SC2 Rain, giving maxi scooter riders a safe, confident ride in changeable weather. Wet performance is enhanced by the higher void ratio in a tread design tuned to balance straight-line stability and sharp handling response. New rubber compounds have been developed offering an exceptional grip feel on cold and wet surfaces. BRIDGESTONE SC 2
