Technologies

Maxxspeed

The new MaxxSpeed ​​(2023) is our flagship rubber compound for XC racing. It is a compound with a high silica content which reduces rolling resistance and improves wet traction. Compared to the previous 3C MaxxSpeed, the new compound has approximately 25% lower rolling resistance in the laboratory (using the same tread pattern, the same structure and the same tire pressure). In a real-world context, our tests show that the new compound can save up to a minute over the course of a 90-minute race.

EXO

EXO is a cut- and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of many Maxxis mountain bike and gravel tires. This tightly woven fabric is lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the tire's performance is not compromised. Choose EXO Protection for added durability for gravel, XC and light trail riding.

Tubeless Ready

Tubeless ready tires offer the cyclist many advantages: the possibility of using lower air pressures, which improve traction, lower rolling resistance compared to a tire with an inner tube and a lower possibility of punctures thanks to the absence of the air chamber. Tubeless ready tires are marked with the initials “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 check the sealant regularly and replace it if necessary, as it will dry out over time.
