3C MaxxGrip Technology

3C MaxxGrip uses the softest rubber compounds to deliver ultimate grip and slow rebound properties, ensuring unparalleled traction for downhill applications.

EXO+ Puncture Protection

Our EXO+ construction combines two of Maxxis' best puncture protection materials: SilkShield and EXO.

• The SilkShield layer runs bead-to-bead, while the EXO layer reinforces the sidewalls.
• This combination improves:
  • Tread puncture protection by 27%
  • Sidewall durability by 51%
  • Resistance to pinch flats by 28%

Tubeless Ready

Tubeless tyres provide several benefits:

• Ability to run lower air pressures for improved traction.
• Lower rolling resistance compared to tube-type tyres.
• Reduced risk of flats since there’s no tube.

Note: Liquid sealants should only be used in Tubeless Road, Tubular, and Tubeless Ready tyres. Using sealants in other Maxxis tyres will void the warranty.

Wide Trail (WT) Construction

Wide Trail construction optimises the tyre’s tread layout and profile for modern, wider rims.

• Traditional tyres designed for narrower rims can create overly square profiles, reducing performance.
• WT tyres are optimised for a 35mm inner rim width but perform well across a range of 30-35mm inner rim widths, depending on rider preference.
