Wide Trail WTThis construction optimises the tyre tread layout and profile on todays modern wide rims. Traditional tyres are designed around older, narrower rims and create and overly square tyre profile, leading to less than optimal performance. WT tyres obtain peak performance when used with an inner rim width of 35mm but are proven to perform exceptionally with rim widths from 30 35mm. EXO ProtectionAn extremely cut resistant and abrasion resistant material added to the sidewalls. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tyre remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for exceptionally rocky, treacherous trails where the chance of sidewall cuts and abrasions is high. Tubeless ReadyTubeless tyres provide the rider with many benefits the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube type tyre; and less chance of flatting since there is no tube. Maxxis Tubeless Ready TR tyres provide the benefits of a UST tubeless tyre without the weight penalty. Maxxis TR tyres use a standard casing and require the use of a liquid sealant in order to make them airtight. Maxxis Tubeless Ready tyres are the only Maxxis tyres approved for use with liquid sealants. 3C MountainMaxxis 3C Triple Compound mountain technology uses a harder, longer lasting base layer and two progressively softer top layers in order to optimize traction and stability.
