Bridgestone – Battlecross X40 Tires

The Bridgestone Battlecross X40 is engineered for riders who live for hard-packed terrain — from baked clay tracks to rocky trails. Designed to dominate intermediate-to-hard surfaces, this tire delivers exceptional grip, stability, and predictability where other tires struggle. Whether you’re hammering through desert terrain or carving dry blue-groove lines, the X40 gives you consistent traction and a confident feel lap after lap.

Up close, you’ll notice the tightly spaced tread pattern — those closely grouped knobs mean more contact points and better forward drive on hard ground. Bridgestone’s signature Castle Block technology adds smaller raised lugs on top of each main knob, increasing surface area and bite under both acceleration and braking. This “block-within-a-block” design doubles the number of working edges, keeping traction strong when the terrain gets slick or compacted.

To manage heat and maintain performance, the X40 rear includes Cooling Fins built into the sidewall — a clever design that dissipates heat buildup during long motos or high-speed desert runs. The Asymmetric Tread Pattern up front ensures reliable cornering traction and braking control, even as the terrain transitions from hardpack to scattered rock.

Why We Like It:
This tire is all about feel and consistency on terrain that punishes lesser rubber. The feedback through the bars is precise, the traction stays steady even as conditions get rough, and the cooling fins genuinely make a difference on longer, harder rides. It’s a tire that grips, holds, and lasts.

Why It’ll Work for You:
If you spend more time on hardpack, rock, or clay than in loam or sand, the X40 is built for your riding style. It digs in when you need drive, stays planted under braking, and resists overheating during long motos or trail climbs. The tread design inspires confidence when the ground gets slick, and the heat management keeps performance consistent from the first lap to the last. Whether you’re racing or just chasing speed on tough terrain, the Battlecross X40 gives your bike the traction it deserves.
