Technologies:
3C Maxx Grip
The new name for the 3C downhill compound, which provides maximum confidence on the wildest descents. 3C Maxx Grip offers the ultimate in grip and low rebound, delivering unmatched traction in DH.
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 perform across a range of inner rim widths from 30–35 mm, depending on the rider’s preference
EXO+ Protection
EXO+ protection strikes a balance 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 riding. 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 a lower risk of punctures since there is no inner tube. Maxxis Tubeless Ready (TR) tires provide the benefits of a LUST tire without sacrificing weight.
