Tyres

World Cup Champion Greg Minnaar's signature yire. The Maxxis Assegai tire is named after the iron-tipped spear used by the Zulu people of South Africa. Greg Minnaar, a native of South Africa, thought it was a fitting name for a tire ready to do battle on the mountain. The tall knobs punch through dust and loam to find traction, but also offer support and confidence on wet roots and rocks. While other tires excel only in certain conditions, the new Maxxis Assegai is built to go fast everywhere. EXO An extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of select mountain tires. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tire remains unaffected.

Double Down DoubleDown (DD) is the next step in the evolution of the dual-ply tire casing for enduro racing. Two 120 TPI casing layers reinforced with a butyl insert provide the enduro racer with the support and protection of a downhill tire, but in a lighter package. 3C MaxxGrip 3C MaxxGrip uses the softest rubbercompounds to offer the ultimate ingrip and slow rebound properties forunparalleled traction in downhill applications.

DH Casing Dual Ply – Also known as Downhill casing, this is 2 x 60TPI layers. It also has a Butyl insert stretching from the bead up the sidewall. This makes a huge difference in pinch flat protection, while also supporting the sidewall of the tyre.

EXO+ Our EXO+ construction combines two of our best puncture protection materials: SilkShield and EXO. The SilkShield layer runs from bead-to-bead with a layer of EXO along the sidewalls. Combined, these two materials create EXO+ which improves tread puncture protection by 27%; sidewall durability by 51%; and resistance to pinch flats by 28%. 3C MaxxTerra An intermediate compound configuration used in select mountain tires. 3C Maxx-Terra is softer and offers more traction than 3C MaxxSpeed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than MaxxGrip.

With the Forekaster on your bike, you can forget about the weather and hit the trails. Aggressive XC Tyre Optimized for loose or wet conditions Dual Compound Tubeless Ready (TR) Wide trail (WT) casing is optimized for 30-35mm inner width rims With the Forekaster on your bike, you can forget about the weather and hit the trails. Mid-height tread blocks are spaced evenly to allow penetration through loose trail conditions and openly for better mud-clearing compared to other race tires. Wide cupped knobs down the middle provide excellent braking on the sloppiest singletrack. When the leaves start falling and the weather becomes more unpredictable, the Forekaster is the late-season tire of choice. 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 tire remains unaffected.

Ultra-light, Ultra-fast Time Trial Tyre. As used by Team Bridgelane Maxxis is proud to announce the High Road SL, the newest addition to our road product line. The High Road SL is our fastest and lightest road tyre ever. As an extremely lightweight tyre with limited puncture protection, the High Road SL is recommended for race use only. It’s designed to be fast, not to last. The High Road SL is suitable for racing time trials, on the velodrome, or any situation where a rider wants the lightest setup possible As used by Team Bridgelane 170TPI Casing HYPR-S Compound K2 Puncture Protection ONE70 Technology The new Maxxis High Road SL uses our lightest, most supple 170 TPI casing. With remarkable bump absorption from the flexible casing, riders will experience more comfort and control. K2 Protection A lightweight, high-performance tyre needs an equally light and high-performing puncture protection layer. For the High Road SL we chose our exclusive K2 material that ensures ride quality and performance remain unsurpassed. K2 is used as a breaker – situated underneath the tread – on the High Road SL. HYPR-S Compound The High Road SL is the first Maxxis tyre to use our new HYPR-S compound. Building on the success of the HYPR compound which debuted on the original High Road, the new HYPR-S compound retains exceptional grip while decreasing rolling resistance by 12%.

Troy Brosnan's Go-Fast Signature Tyre Troy wanted a “unicorn” of a tyre – a center tread design that carried speed easily but with edge blocks worthy of world-class cornering speed. Using our Rekon, Minon DHF, and High Roller II tread patterns as a starting point, Troy and our engineering team began development on the Dissector during the 2018 World Cup season. The center knobs are all heavily ramped to minimize drag, but retain sharp, flat edges along their backs to provide strong braking traction. Small sipes give the knobs additional flexion, increasing their surface area during braking and aiding the transition to the edge blocks when cornering. C-shaped edge blocks alternate between being closer and farther away from the center line of the tyre. This pattern reduces vagueness when transferring from the center tread to the cornering tread. A distinct channel along either side of the center knobs – along with ample spacing between all lugs – helps to clear debris. Recommended as a rear tyre Ideal for dry, fast tracks and bike parks Wide Trail (WT) casing is optimized for 30-35mm inner rim widths 3C MaxxGrip 3C MaxxGrip uses the softest rubber compounds to offer the ultimate in grip and slow rebound properties for unparalleled traction in downhill applications.
