Widened side knobs provide additional support and help with manoeuvring. The ramped central knobs improve acceleration, while their grooves provide confidence when leaning the bike. Paddle-shaped knobs grip well under hard braking, helping the rider control the bike. The tyre can be paired with a Minion DHF on the rear wheel for an aggressive combination on off-road trails.

Technologies

3C MAXXGRIP

The Maxxis 3C MAXXGRIP compound uses the stickiest, highest-grip rubber offered for mountain bike tyres. This compound is chosen by top riders in the World Cup Downhill and Enduro World Series.

EXO puncture protection

EXO is a cut- and abrasion-resistant material used on the sidewalls of many Maxxis mountain bike and gravel tyres. This dense material is lightweight and flexible, so it does not affect the tyre's performance. EXO puncture protection is intended for durable tyres used on gravel, XC or lighter forest trails.

DOUBLE DOWN (DD)

DoubleDown (DD) is a Maxxis casing construction designed for enduro racing and e-bikes. Two layers of lightweight 120 TPI casing material are combined with a rubber insert in the sidewall to create a highly durable tyre. A tyre with a DoubleDown (DD) casing offers better performance on the trail than a Downhill tyre. The main difference affecting ride feel on the trail is that a DoubleDown (DD) casing is lighter and provides less cushioning than a Downhill casing.

TUBELESS READY

Tubeless tyres allow riders to use lower tyre pressure for improved grip and offer lower rolling resistance than tyres with inner tubes. If the tyre is punctured, pressure is lost more slowly because there is no inner tube. Tubeless tyres are marked with the letters “TR” on the sidewall.

WIDE TRAIL (WT)

Wide Trail (WT) construction optimises tread placement and profile for today's wider rims. Traditional tyres are designed for older, narrower rims and may have a distorted profile that reduces performance. WT tyres are optimised for rims with a 35 mm internal width, but are also suitable for rims 30–35 mm wide.

Maxxis Wide Trail XC tyres are optimised for rims with a 30 mm internal width, but also work well on narrower rims down to 25 mm. Maxxis does not recommend rims wider than 30 mm or narrower than 25 mm.
