D610 of OEMTire of CRF1000L AS was replaced because it came to the front of SlipSign.
Below is a comparison to the OEM Mounting TireD610.
I was looking forward to seeing how good the A41 would be, as it had received very high praise in the reviews, but as expected from Bridgestone, the Tire felt great.
Even a tall motorcycle like the CRF1000L can be ridden like a road sports bike, and the tire pattern seems to be designed for on road use, so you can enjoy the fluttering and cornering, and you don't have to worry about using the edge of the tire. I'm not worried about using the edge of the tire. With the D610, I was worried about the grip on the sharp left turn at the intersection and had to go around the large turn, but with the A41, I can go around the small turn with the quick turn. I feel like I'm wearing high grip tires.
I was told that Manufacturer has designed the A41 for off-road driving, but I found that the A41 took out the tires on the gravel road which the D610 did not mind. I was expecting the A41 to be better than the D610, but I was disappointed because the Manufacturer's brochure included a picture of the A41 running on FlatDirt.
What also bothered me a little was that it seemed to wear out faster than I expected.
After 3 months of installation, I have driven about 1000km on public roads and the Center is flattening out, it didn't flatten out this fast with the D610, so I guess it won't last as long as other reviews say.
There are some things that I like about the A41, but it's a very comfortable Tire.
Although the price is a bit expensive, it is a recommended tire for Africa Twin users who are on the road.

It is an omnidirectional evolution type adventure tire that realizes significant wet performance improvement, outstanding straight running stability and sufficient wear life compared with "BATTLAX ADVENTURE A 40".
It greatly improved the braking distance especially on the wet road surface. It improves grip during cornering and provides safe riding that can be safely used even in sudden weather changes.
"Invitation to a New Adventure"
That is the thought of the developers who have been put to the A41.
It adopts newly designed tread pattern for both front and rear. The shoulder part increases the groove, improves drainage on wet road surface, improves grip at cornering.
It is possible to shorten the wet braking distance by increasing the block rigidity by reducing the groove in the center part.
In addition, Bridgestone's proprietary technology "ULTIMATE EYE" carried out the optimum technology feed Back, succeeded in increasing the contact area and equalizing the contact pressure.
It improved the wet grip during cornering.
