MaxxSpeed
Coming in 2023 is an all-new MaxxSpeed compound for the Maxxis cross country (XC) line. The new MaxxSpeed uses silica as a filler in the rubber polymer creating a compound that performs better across the board compared to the old 3C MaxxSpeed. Racers benefit from reduced rolling resistance and improved wet traction
EXO
An extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of select mountain tyres. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible; ensuring that the performance of the tyre remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for exceptionally rocky; treacherous trails where the chance of sidewall cuts and abrasions is high
Wide Trail
Wide Trail (WT) construction optimises the tyres tread layout and profile on todays modern; wider rims. Traditional tyres are designed around older; narrower rims and can create an overly square tyre profile; leading to less than optimal performance. WT tyres are optimised for a 30mm inner rim width but are proven to work over a range from 25-30mm inner rim widths; depending on the riders preference
Tubeless Ready
Tubeless tyres provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures; which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tyre; and less chance of flatting since there is no tube. Liquid sealants should only be used in the following types of tyres: Tubeless Road; Tubular; and Tubeless Ready. The use of liquid sealants in any other Maxxis tyre will void the warranty Find out more about Maxxis technology here.
