Details & Technology
Casing (choose from the following)
-
EXO
EXO casing is the most popular casing from Maxxis and features a densely woven fabric that is flexible and lightweight to protect against cuts and punctures. This is recommended for trail riding, all-mountain, and occasional enduro
-
SilkShield eBike
The SilkShield eBike casing has a layer of SilkShield puncture protection in a supportive eBike casing
-
Downhill
The Downhill casing from Maxxis is the ultimate protection for aggressive enduro and downhill riding. It has a butyl insert in the side of the tire for support when the going gets rough
-
Double Down
The Double Down casing has two 120 TPI layers with a reinforced butyl insert to provide support, and protection for enduro and some downhill riding, without the added weight of a full downhill casing
Compound (choose from the following)
-
3C Maxx Terra
Three different compounds (3C), harder at the base, softer at the edges and medium in the middle. Maxx Terra is an intermediate blend to roll fast but still give good supportive grip. Designed to be used across all mountain biking disciplines from XC to downhill
-
Dual Compound
Designed for durability and long lasting performance. There are two rubber compounds, a harder one for low rolling resistance and a softer one for increased cornering grip
-
Single Compound
One rubber compound used throughout the tyre which is optimised for durability and performance
-
3C Maxx Grip
Three different compounds (3C), harder at the base, softer at the edges and medium in the middle. Maxx Grip uses the softest rubber for more of the tyre to prioritise grip and traction. Best used in downhill or steep trail riding where maintaining speed is not an issue
