I know this is an old review, but I appreciate 🙏 the review/work you put in on this... There are a couple of tires that I'm interested in that there doesn't seem to be many reviews on.... this is one of them. The other one that may be a good head to head with these are the Dunlop Mutants 🤔...
I instaled those tyres on My Ninja 400 and Are amazing!!! I loved the results, i recomend these tyres on Ninjas 400. The grip is specially wonderful! Not Even wet floor of roadway or highway can't desequilibrate the súper grip. I used to use 110/70/17 vs 150/60/17 But with the AX41S i installed 120/70/17 vs 170/60/17 and the Bike looks powerful!!!! Feels powerful and secure!!! Works perfect!!!
Thanks for the review as there is not a lot available for those tyres. It is really complete. It comfort me to choose them for my NineT Scrambler. Look forward riding on similar roads here in the French Pyrénées I think it is the good mix between efficiency and look ;)
Great review , i am curently on pirelli mt60rs , i love them on pavement and gravel , just wish the rear would have à dual compound , i see the ax41s does, so how would you compare the ax41s with these in grip for pavement and gravel road , the bike in a ktm 690 in sm trim
Thank you for your inquiry Claude. These AX41s tires are the likes of a sport bike rain tire. They handle the pavement expertly and on gravel roads they did pretty good. Actually impressive as compared to my visual impressions of the thin groves. The Pirelli mt60rs tires have larger groves and will most likely have a better off road / gravel road feel over the AX41s. It has been years since I have run the Pirelli... so it is a little hard to give an accurate comparison for you. -- Kyle & the Chap Moto Team
They worked SO well on wet and sandy roads... but I was Blown Away at how well they handled the fire road! That was really surprising. - Kyle

How would these compare against sport touring tyres? I ride an Aprilia Tuono on mixed gravel & tarmac roads. Currently I have Michelin Road 5 tyres and they are great on hard packed dirt roads, but I wish to have a bit more traction on loose stuff without sacrificing too much stability, flickability & grip on tarmac twisties. I guess AX41S is going to wear down faster than Michelin Road.
Thank you for your inquiry Miika. I LOVE the Road 5 for road work, it's one of my favorite tires. The AX41S will have less longevity, but I do think it will perform off-road significantly better than the Road 5 (although I have not had the R5 off-road... just speculating)... The AX41S is a super smooth running street tire with great feedback from the road. I really like it a lot! I melt it in the twisties and it ends up with a track-like look after 20 miles of hard work. Sticks like glue though... and was pretty darned good off-road, surprisingly. Not much help eh? Sorry! - Kyle
Yes. This tire is very very sport-bike-like in the way it performs. The only noise I could hear was in slow speed corners. Other than that it was silent. -- Kyle & the Chap Moto Team
Can you give some thoughts on how these tires compare to other more street oriented ADV tires like the Metzeler Tourance NEXT, Pirelli Scorpion Trail, Continental Conti Trail, etc.
The AX41S is a very similar tire to the tires you have mentioned. All are mostly street tires that can ride on dirt if the need arises. Very very similar tires.
Hello, take a look at our ADV tire shootout overview. There's plenty of good insight: www.chapmoto.com/blog/motorcycle-gear-guides/adv-motorcycle-tires/
Yes Sir! This was a prototype suit, a pre-production Centurion Suit from back when they were first released. It's old.... but I still like it a lot! Later today or tomorrow morning we will launch our new Klim Hardanger On-Piece Suit video... It is even easier to get into and out of then the Centurion! Stay tuned...
They are a great feeling and very responsive street tire that can go on dirt. I was actually very surprised at how well they did... it was not expected. Thanks for watching. - Kyle
@@ilyafilru Yes Is sure did. I worked for Chad & Karsten for 4 years. It was a great family run business. When we had our 2nd kid, we moved South to be closer to family. Good guys. Thanks for watching! - Kyle
Isn't the front tire mono compound and only rear double compound? I'm Affraid that front tires will not last long.. I don't understand, all modern titres have center rolling part differ from the sides for endurance and grip at the side.
Jamie, front tires last at least 2/3rds longer than rear tires, so with the single compound up front they wear out at the same time now. It's actually a good thing! My thoughts, Kyle
Hi everybody, I'm going to buy the AX41S tires for my Honda X ADV 750. Actually my tires are Bridgestone Trailwings, at 12,4k km the front tire is finished, the back could work some more. I hope is a good choice, wanna change design and a better feeling, AX41S should be more tender than Trailwings, almost it's what I guess. Do you agree?
Now that's a review! Looking very impressive under all conditions.
The AX41 tires really are impressive. The hook up in the dirt and they rail on the pavement! Nice tires for sure. -- Kyle & the Chap Moto Team

Thank you for the kind words. We will consider your suggestion for future projects. Ride safe.
@@chaparralmotorsports ya i would like to see that comparison--i wonder if the mutant compound really is better in the wet with the high silica

Great to hear!
I have them on my 92 Kawasaki zephyr 750 and couldn't ask for a better tire for that bike. Absolutely wonderful!!!
Awesome Bo. Thanks for watching.
Great review, still relevant!👍
Thanks

Glad I could help
Dunlop mutant también es otra muy buena opción

My dealer recommended these for my Tiger 800 and I look forward to try them
They felt great on the street and worked pretty darned good off-road too. Nice tires.
Hello Kyle. This became available where I’m at. Is this stickier and less noisy than the Anakee Adventure on dry roads?
Yes. This tire is very very sport-bike-like in the way it performs. The only noise I could hear was in slow speed corners. Other than that it was silent. -- Kyle & the Chap Moto Team
Chaparral Motorsports thanks. Cheers
Chaparral Motorsports almost last on the 2020 tests on twisties??

Epic review! Thank you!

Hi! Is this tire still good in 2023? I'm considering this tire and the Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR, which one is better?

Cool review, I know that entire area thanks guys

Nice review 👌
Glad you liked it
I'm looking for new tires for my NC700X, what is the life expectancy for these? Can I get 10k miles or are these going to burn out closer to 5K?
Hello
Do you use the Ax41s on the Nc?
@Luci Moto I have not bought them yet. Decided that at this point in my adventures, I need road tires more than fun tires..
how are these tires noisewise? are they loud on highway?
Hello, we don't think they are too loud.
Nice tires but are you wearing a tour Master Centurion One-Piece Suit? and where did you get it?
Yes Sir! This was a prototype suit, a pre-production Centurion Suit from back when they were first released. It's old.... but I still like it a lot! Later today or tomorrow morning we will launch our new Klim Hardanger On-Piece Suit video... It is even easier to get into and out of then the Centurion! Stay tuned...
@@chaparralmotorsports thanks for the reply, the suit looks new... i'll have to look a the Klim Hardanger On-Piece Suit video...

They would be amazing on your Thurxton R! I was very impressed with these "street tires" and how well they did all around.
