Off-Road MX/SX Tires

Optimized for hard terrain like rocks or blasting through hard-packed trails or clay race tracks, the Bridgestone Battlecross X40 off-road tire is the ideal choice for riders in intermediate to hard terrains.

As with any tire, traction is the name of the game.  When you look at the rear tire, you’ll see these knobbies have tread lugs that are closely spaced together.  More lugs mean more contact points, which provides optimum traction to drive you forward on harder terrain.

Bridgestone’s convex “Castle Block” technology on the rear extends all the way across the tire. Essentially, secondary raised lugs atop the primary lug, Castle Block technology gives more surface area and more “bite” for enhanced traction in hard-packed environments, both under braking and acceleration.¹

The X40 also features Cooling Fins built into the sidewall of the tire to better dissipate heat which provides more consistent tire performance.¹

Like the rear tire, the X40 front also features a high lug count that are closer together, ideal for hard terrain. Bridgestone’s Asymmetric Tread Pattern gives ideal tread placement under all conditions, whether you’re accelerating, braking, or leaning the bike over.

• Available in most big bike sizes.
• Front tire features Asymmetric Tread Pattern which optimizes block placement to achieve stable grip under braking and cornering.
• Rear tires feature Cooling Fins on the sidewall for better heat dispersion which provides more consistent tire performance.¹
• Convex “Castle Block” (rear) offers enhanced traction under acceleration and braking. The “block within a block” gives twice the square edges for more bite.¹
• Comparable tires: Dunlop MX53 & MX71, Michelin Starcross 5 Hard, Pirelli Scorpion MX Hard.

The newest member of the BATTLECROSS X series is here!  The BATTLECROSS X31 is for a broader range of intermediate terrain in big bike sizes.*  Starting where the X30 left off, the X31 is enhanced with Bunker Groove™ technology which results in greater traction in both harder and softer terrains.* Bunker Groove™ works by improving casing flex which enhances traction in harder terrain and adds biting edges for traction in softer conditions.*  Cooling Fins™ keep the feel consistent throughout your moto.

Benefits: 

• True intermediate tire with improved traction in a broader range of terrain*
• Rear tire Cooling Fins™ promote consistent traction and feel under continuous use (such as during a moto) by dispersing heat and minimizing inflation pressure gain. 
• Bunker Groove™ technology – Two great benefits! 

1.  Increased casing flex in tread area improves lug contact for greater traction in harder terrain while helping to maintain sidewall stability.* 

2.  Provides additional biting edges when lugs are fully embedded in soft terrain.*

• Symmetric front tire design enhanced with Castle Block™ promotes braking stability while increasing biting edges and contact pressure on soft and slippery surfaces.*
• Asymmetric rear tire tread design featuring Castle Block™ enhances cornering traction by increasing lateral biting edges.*

If you’re looking for a jack-of-all-trades tire, welcome to the X30. Bridgestone’s do-it-all off-road tire, the X30 is an all-terrain motorcycle tire packed with technology that crosses well between soft, intermediate, and hard terrain.

They feature raised center lugs and are slightly more packed together compared to the X20. With the X30, Bridgestone’s Castle Block technology is now utilized in the center blocks as well as the side.  These raised “mini blocks” provide additional biting edges for more traction.¹

The X30 also features Cooling Fins built into the sidewall of the tire to better dissipate heat which provides more consistent tire performance.¹

The X30 front tires features Bridgestone’s Asymmetric Block Pattern, meaning the tread design is not identical on both sides. This optimizes block placement for more stable grip under braking and cornering, regardless if you’re turning left or right.¹

This off-road motorcycle tire is ideal for soft/intermediate terrain and incorporates an innovative feature in the form of Bridgestone’s Castle Block technology.

Found in the rear tire’s side lugs, the convex Castle Blocks are essentially secondary knobs that raise up from the primary side lug, creating more edges and surface area to bite into the ground and provide traction.  In other words, instead of just one, you get two square edges.

Convex side lugs help add grip and traction when leaning the bike over. Widely spaced tread blocks help keep the tire free from mud/dirt build-up.

The X20 front tire maintains the convex blocks on the side lugs for great traction while leaned over, and like the rear tire, the center knobs are spaced out to reduce the chance of mud or sand getting trapped.

• Available in most big bike sizes.
  
• Tread pattern and block design front and rear provides higher cornering grip and greater traction on soft terrain.¹
• Convex “Castle Block” rear technology offers enhanced traction on a wider range of terrain conditions from soft to intermediate terrains. These additional square edges provide more bite.¹
• X20 fronts are directional.
• Comparable tires: Dunlop MX33, Michelin Starcross 5 Soft, Pirelli Scorpion MX32 Mid Soft.

Looking to rule soft terrain? The Battlecross X10 is the optimal choice if you’re looking for off-road motorcycle tires that perform in mud and sand.

The tread blocks on the rear X10 tire resemble miniature paddles, ideal for pushing you forward by scooping through mud and soft terrain.  The rear X10 is a directional tire because of how it simulates the functionality of a paddle with the shape of the knobs.

Bridgestone has optimized the block rigidity to provide optimum traction in mud & sand mixed conditions to provide as much bite as possible. Wide spacing between the blocks reduces the chance of mud and dirt packing between them.

The X10 front tire, with its tall spikes, may appear unconventional, but this tread pattern has been proven to cut a clean path. Like the rear, the spikes are spaced wide apart to prevent packing or clogging and aid in self-cleaning.

• Battlecross X10 operates more effectively with greater flexibility in varying track conditions.¹
• Innovative tread patterns developed specifically for deep bottomless sand and mud, maintains control and traction in adverse conditions.
• Front spiked tread pattern cuts a clean path and helps maintain control.
