3C MAXXGRIP

Maxxis’s 3C MaxxGrip compound uses the stickiest, slowest rebound rubber we offer in a mountain bike tire. This high-traction compound is the same used by our top athletes in the Downhill World Cup and Enduro World Series and is now available in a variety of casing configurations to suit all riders.

TUBELESS READY

Tubeless ready tires offer the rider numerous advantages: the ability to use lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance compared to a tire with an inner tube; and less chance of flats because there is no tube. Tubeless ready tires are marked with the letters "TR" on the sidewall.

Tubeless ready tires must be mounted on tubeless-compatible rims and require the use of a liquid sealant to maintain pressure. Liquid sealants have the added benefit of sealing small punctures. Be sure to regularly check the sealant and refresh it as needed since it will dry out over time.

WIDE TRAIL

The Wide Trail (WT) construction optimizes the tread layout and profile of the tire on today’s wider modern rims. Traditional tires are designed around older, narrower rims and can create an overly square tire profile, leading to suboptimal performance. WT tires are optimized for a 35 mm internal rim width but have been shown to work on a range of internal rim widths from 30-35 mm, depending on rider preference.

DH CASING

The Maxxis DH Casing for Downhill MTB tires consists of two layers of 60tpi fabric with a rubber coating that goes from bead to bead, providing extra protection and lateral stiffness for enduro and Downhill applications, with the addition of a butyl rubber layer in the bead area to offer rim edge protection and add sidewall stability.
