EXO

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.

Double Down (DD)

DoubleDown (DD) is our casing solution for enduro racing and e-bike use. Two layers of our lightweight 120 TPI casing material are combined with a butyl sidewall insert to create a highly durable tire with more trail feedback than a Downhill casing tire. DoubleDown tires are marginally lighter than their Downhill counterparts, but it’s really the difference in “trail feel” that sets the two apart. Some riders may prefer the highly damped ride provided by a Downhill casing tire.

Tubeless Ready

Tubeless ready tires 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 tire; and less chance of flatting because there is no tube. Tubeless ready tires are denoted by the letters “TR” on the sidewall.

Tubeless ready tires must be mounted to 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 your sealant regularly and refresh as needed as it will dry out over time.

Liquid sealants should only be used in the following types of tires: tubeless road, tubular, and tubeless ready. The use of liquid sealants in any other Maxxis tire will void the warranty.

This tire offer great rolling

"This tire offer great rolling for all types of terrain with the lower knobby tread and rails the corners with the Shoulder Knobby of tire. So, if you are looking to shed time off your Strava KOM or Sprint section on Trail. Then, would be the tire to do so. Go get it to throw your arms in the air like a champion!!! Winning. . . If your not First, then your Last!"

Great Fast Rolling Tire

"A great rear tire that rolls super fast and can bite in when you lean it over!"

— Henry S. (5/5)

I keep coming back to these tires

"These have been my favorite tires for a while, I keep trying different brands and models and then I keep coming back to these. Really give you a unique feel with the fast rolling center but the big ol' knobs on the side."

— Eric (5/5)

SS is more than a slick

"The Minion SS provides a lot of speed with the low profile center and corners like a true minion with very supportive side knobs. The transition into the side knobs is much quicker than a lot of very knobby tires due to the low profile center, so cornering can often feel much better than knobby tires. Straight line braking isn't as strong, but in those moments the front should be doing all the work. This is my go-to rear tire for fast enduro racing."
