Find the perfect mountain bike tire for your bike at Escapa. Positioned between the Assegai and the Shorty in Maxxis’s downhill lineup, the third-generation Maxxis High Roller III 29 3CG/DD/TR tire combines an open center tread pattern with large, heavily reinforced side knobs to withstand extreme forces when cornering.
The Maxxis High Roller III 29 3CG/DD/TR tirefeatures a hybrid tread design that provides the ground penetration of a medium-knobbed tire for wet conditions, while maintaining cornering control and traction on hard surfaces typical of a dry-weather tire.
Features:
• Hybrid tread pattern
• MaxxGrip rubber compound
• DoubleDown 2x120 TPI casing
• Tubeless-ready
• Weight: 1299g
3C MaxxGrip
Maxxis’ MaxxGrip 3C compound uses the stickiest rubber with the slowest rebound. This high-traction compound is the same one used by our top athletes in the Downhill World Cup and Enduro World Series, and it’s now available in a variety of casing configurations to suit every rider.
Double Down (DD)
DoubleDown (DD) is our casing solution for Enduro and e-bikes. Two layers of our lightweight 120 TPI casing material are combined with a butyl insert in the sidewall to create a highly durable tire with more on-trail responsiveness than a Downhill casing tire. DoubleDown tires are slightly lighter than their Downhill counterparts, but it’s really the difference in “trail feel” that sets the two apart. Some riders may prefer the ample cushioning provided by a Downhill tire.
Tubeless Ready
Tubeless-ready tires offer riders many advantages: the ability to use lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance compared to a tube-type tire; and a reduced risk of punctures since they don’t use a tube. Tubeless tires are identified by the letters “TR” on the sidewall. Tubeless tires must be mounted on 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 the sealant regularly and replace it as needed, as it dries out over time.
