Bristol failed to collect a Premiership try-scoring bonus point for the first time since December after Leicester successfully stalled their free-scoring machine.
Adam Radwan, Ollie Hassell-Collins, Jack van Poortvliet, Freddie Steward and Cameron Henderson scored Leicester's tries, with Handre Pollard kicking three conversions and a penalty and Jamie Shillcock slotting one conversion.
Bristol trailed by 17 points at the interval, and while they rallied after the break, the home side's try-count stopped at three after Gabriel Ibitoye, Kalaveti Ravouvou and Harry Randall touched down, while AJ MacGinty added two conversions.
It was an outstanding performance on the road by Leicester, one that was underpinned by an impressive display up-front, with skipper Julian Montoya, lock Ollie Chessum and flanker Tommy Reffell among those to the fore.
Meanwhile, title favourites Bath moved 15 points clear at the top of the English Premiership, but were handed a scare by an Exeter second-half fightback in a 26-24 victory on Saturday.
British and Irish Lions head coach Andy Farrell looked on at Sandy Park as Bath scored three tries in five first-half minutes to surge clear.
After an early penalty try for the visitors, Niall Annett, Josh Bayliss and Will Muir crossed for a 26-10 half-time lead.
Exeter rallied through wing Paul Brown-Bampoe's two tries but fell short of a comeback and they remain second bottom.
"I think it was a great advert for the Premiership today. You had the team number one on the log versus the team that was number nine, and you got a game like that," said Bath boss Johann van Graan.
"It was quite a physical game and it looked like a war zone in our changing room afterwards."
