EXO is a cut- and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of many Maxxis mountain bike and gravel tires. This densely woven fabric is lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tire remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for enhanced durability for gravel, XC, and light-duty trail riding.
Wide Trail (WT) construction optimizes the tire’s tread layout and profile on today’s modern, wider rims. Traditional tires are designed around older, narrower rims and can create an overly square tire profile, leading to less than optimal performance. WT tires are optimized for a 35mm inner rim width but are proven to work over a range from 30-35mm inner rim widths, depending on the rider’s preference.
Maxxis Wide Trail XC tires are optimized for use with 30mm internal width rims, but they will perform well on rims as narrow as 25mm. Maxxis does not recommend rims wider than 30mm or narrower than 25mm

"I was using another tires brand and tried these as recommendation from a friend. First ride was on a dual susp on a semi flat trail with loose over hard but wet terrain and the traction and grip these tires provide is great. I am a heavy rider and feel these tires are great but on wet roots / roots you may feel some slips. Maybe a lower tore pressure on those conditions, but these are to stay on my bike."
"This tire is fast. Perfect for long xc rides covering multiple surfaces. Not for muddy trails tgough."
"The tire was super easy to mount and seat (no tools or air compressor needed) and it rolls great!"
"All good, quick delivery"
"My first day on my new Rekon Race 29x2. 25 / 120TPI / EXO / TR Rear was EXCELLENT! It spun up fast, rolled FAST, stopped fast, had plenty of GRIP on dirt and rocks, hooked up and tracked right thru hard turns, and CLIMBED without slipping or having to sit over it! Combined with my new Rekon 29x2. 4 / 60TPI / EXO / TR Front, I had my fastest 4. 26mi. race lap at Folsom Lake in 4 years; FIRST DAY! I can't wait to run it again tomorrow on my new Rekon Race and Rekon!"
"I love the low rolling resistance of this tire and durability. I ride mostly street and hard pack since I had a hip replacement. This tire is PERFECT for that"
"My son, Colin Bailey, designed the Minion Front tire. I, of course, run them proudly. We recently went bikepacking, me on Minions front and rear and Colin on the Recon race. He frequently coasted, where I had to pedal. There was an obvious and extreme difference in rolling resistance. As soon as I got home I ordered one for the rear, then shortly afterwards, I ordered a second. I have yet to test them but expect them to be stellar. I love supple tires."
"Great XC tire"
"My go to tire for mtb! Wouldn’t change a thing!"
"Rode for the first time tonight. Very impressed with the grip"
