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.

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.

Nice Tire

"Have these in the 120tpi, 40mm. Running with tubes on my retro 'touring/gravel bike'. They give a really comfortable, confidence boosting ride. They smooth out all the road chatter on our crappy roads, and do well in light gravel too. You think they would be slow rolling, but I was able to hang with a road group ride doing a pretty good pace. I've got them mounted on Fulcrum racing zero wheels (rim brake) and the combo is pretty light and spins up fast. Would like to see more size options for them."

Velocita

"Fantastic tire for training and long rides. Maxxis customer service is awesome!"

— Jason G. (5/5)

I’ve been using this tire

"I’ve been using this tire since it came out and find it versatile, puncture resistant and light for what size and protection it provides. I’m seriously bummed that Maxxis has chosen to discontinue this tire. They don’t have anything else in their line that compares. I don’t want a 500gm tire or with knobs so far out on theshoulder that you’d have to be crashing to use them."

Best all around gravel tire

"Best all around gravel tire ever made."

— Ash J. (5/5)

Fast of pavement and cat1/2

"Fast of pavement and cat1/2 gravel, good in the wet, can run lower pressure, they look great on my bike. They're my favorite tire for road and light gravel."

— Aaron W. (5/5)

Great performance tire for all-road

"I've really loved these tires and just bought another set from my local bike shop. They came stock on my Giant Revolt and I just completed 2,000 miles on them with only two punctures (which both sealed) during this time. I ride a large mix of smooth to rough gravel and plenty of tarmac as well. I was riding the TR/EXO 120 TPI. I weigh 155lbs and ran these tires between 29-33 psi front, 32-36 psi rear depending on terrain. Buy these tires if you are looking for a really fast, supple and low rolling resistance tire."

— Corey (5/5)

Great for mixing gravel and tarmac

"Light and fast tire. The best one I've found so far for mixing road and gravel. Easy to set up tubeless and before that i did about 1500 km with tubes and zero punctures. It's not a tire for wet conditions though and on single track I'd rather have knobs."

— Edvin (5/5)

Really fast low resistance tire

"These came stock on my 2020 Giant Revolt Advanced 0. These are a extremely fast low wattage tire that works well on hard packed surfaces. If you hit sand you’ll stop immediately and go down hard. I ran them Tubeless and while I was never stranded with a flat I was cleaning Orange Seal off my frame 2 or 3 times a month. The final straw was tread separation on the rear that wouldn’t seal and developed a blister. Quite frankly I’m perplexed why Giant would put these tires on a gravel bike when they’re really not meant for gravel."

Maxxis Velocita Tire

"Ordering, shipping and receiving was excellent. The only issue with this tire is the directional arrow is difficult to see and had to dismount and reinstall."

— Todd K. (5/5)

Q&A

Does the Silkshield offer more protection than EXO?
Yes, the SilkShield version uses a heavier duty casing and puncture protection.
What are ringworm tires
That is an old BMX model that is no longer in production.
