ADVMoto just got back to the East Coast after spending five days in Las Vegas to cover the 2018 AIMExpo. For the first time, the largest North American powersport expo took place at the Mandalay Convention Center, gathering industry, media, and vendors from all over the world.
While no dual-sport or adventure bikes were unveiled at the event (stay tuned for news from across the pond), we did run across a few products that are sure to be hot items for 2019.

Bridgestone Battlax Adventurecross AX41

It’s about time Bridgestone joined the semi-knobbie brigade. The new Battlax Adventurecross AX41 is a 50/50 dual-sport tire with a unique tread pattern that helps resist wear on tarmac. Have you ever been stuck with an irregular wear pattern on your tires, where your knobbies become saw-shaped due to hard braking or acceleration? Bridgestone’s new compound and special block shape are supposed to help to prevent against that. MSRP: TBD
