MAXXSPEED

The new MaxxSpeed (2023) is a premium rubber compound designed for XC racing. This high-silica compound reduces rolling resistance and improves grip on wet surfaces. Compared with the previous 3C MaxxSpeed compound, the new compound has approximately 25% lower rolling resistance under laboratory conditions when using the same tread pattern, construction and tyre pressure. Tests conducted by Maxxis show that, in real-world riding conditions, the new compound can help save up to one minute over a 90-minute race.

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 tyre performance. Choose EXO puncture protection for durable tyres on gravel, XC or lighter forest trails.

TUBELESS READY

Tubeless tyres allow riders to use lower tyre pressure, which improves grip. They also have lower rolling resistance than tyres with inner tubes. If a tyre is punctured, it loses pressure more slowly because there is no inner tube. Tubeless tyres are marked with the letters “TR” on the sidewall.
