Technologies:
3C MaxxTerra
An intermediate compound for certain mountain bike tires. The 3C Maxx Terra is softer and offers more traction than the 3C Maxx Speed, while providing greater durability and lower rolling resistance than the Maxx Grip.
WT Wide Trail
Optimizes the tread pattern and tire profile for modern, wider rims. WT tires are optimized for an inner rim width of 35 mm, but have been proven to work within a range of inner rim widths from 30–35 mm, depending on the rider’s preference
EXO+ Protection
EXO+ protection is a middle ground between EXO and DoubleDown. It offers more protection than the former but is lighter than the latter, making it an excellent choice for Enduro/All Mountain use. Compared to EXO Protection, EXO+ improves tread puncture protection by 27%, sidewall durability by 51%, and compression resistance by 28%.
TR Tubeless Ready
Tubeless-ready tires offer many benefits over conventional tires: the ability to run at lower pressures, improving traction; lower rolling resistance compared to a tubular tire; and less risk of punctures since there is no inner tube. Maxxis Tubeless Ready (TR) tires provide the benefits of a LUST tire without compromising on weight.
