Widened side knobs provide extra support and help with manoeuvrability. The angled knobs in the centre of the tread improve acceleration, while their grooves help maintain confidence when cornering. Paddle-shaped knobs grip the surface during hard braking and help control the bike. The tyre is suited to aggressive riding on off-road trails, including when used with a Minion DHF.
Maxxis 3C MaxxTerra is a triple-layer rubber compound used throughout the Maxxis mountain tyre range. It provides better grip than 3C MaxxSpeed, with less tread wear and lower rolling resistance than 3C MaxxGrip, making it suitable for riding trails in a variety of conditions.
EXO+ is Maxxis puncture protection designed for a range of lighter-duty roads and lightweight e-bikes. The EXO+ construction consists of a durable 60 TPI casing, the EXO puncture-protection layer and a small rubber insert around the tyre bead. The casing and EXO material protect the tyre from rocks and roots, while the rubber insert helps prevent punctures from sharp objects and reduces the risk of rim damage.
Tubeless tyres allow riders to use lower tyre pressure, improving grip, and have lower rolling resistance than tyres with inner tubes. If a tubeless tyre is punctured, it loses pressure more slowly because there is no inner tube. Tubeless tyres are marked “TR” on the sidewall.
