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.
SilkShield
SilkShield offers protection from bead to bead whereas Silkworm is found under the tread only.
SilkShield provides an additional level of protection for sidewalls as well as under the tread.
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.

Reviews
Balancing Off-Road and On-Road
"Paired these with my Diverge E5, and the Maxxis Reaver is hands down the perfect 'one-and-done' gravel tire. It’s super fun to ride, whether you're on smooth pavement or rough trails. On fast laps at Bangkok's Skylane, they rolled beautifully—fast, smooth, and effortless. Off-road on various local tracks, they held their own with tons of cornering confidence and grip. Best of all, mounting them was a breeze. At 40c, I practically didn't even need tire levers. If you want a versatile, hassle-free gravel tire, look no further. Highly recommended—amazing value!"

Gravel sta a Rambler come passione sta sicurezza
"Questo è il terzo gruppo di Rambler che uso per la mia Gravel , misura da 40 il top per versatilità su vari terreni e scorrevolezza su strada asfaltata. Ho usato e osato gonfiare anche leggermente più in basso del livello minimo di 2. 5 bar (ho impostato 2. 1 anteriore / 2. 3 posteriore) non ho avuto nessun problema di stabilità su tratti tecnici, anzi il confort e lo smorzamento delle buche era il top. Usate anche in gare Gravel 👍 versione 120 Tpi"

Q&A
For the TB00577300, I have a flat. What tube is recommended.
Sorry to hear that. We recommend a 700x33/50 size tube such as part number IB00137200.
Will the Rambler 700x50C work OK on a Stans Arch S2 28 mm internal width rim?
Yes, that combination will be fine.
How much sealant is recommended for use in a tubeless setup?
That depends on the sealant manufacturers recommendations, but 2 ounces is a good starting place.
can these tires be used on hookless rims. i am specifically looking at the 700x38 EXO version
Yes as long as the rims are manufactured to ETRTO standards.
What is the recommended tire pressure for a Rambler 700X40 Silk Shield? I weigh 215lbs.
Assuming these are set up tubeless, we would recommend the 40-45 PSI range to start with.
