Everyone knows what a tire is and what it’s for, right? It’s a black donut made of rubber, placed on a vehicle so the driver can transport himself and his cargo from point A to point B. The tire has to allow for easy steering, braking and cornering. It must provide for a comfortable, safe ride. It needs to be durable. And that’s about the extent of what most of us know.
Maxxis has invested approximately US $150 million in its new test track which took several years to plan and construct. Opened in 2012 in Kunchan near Shanghai, Maxxis has opened one of only a select few privately owned proving grounds in China. This rigorous testing operation promotes Maxxis’ growing relationships with major automakers.
Whether it’s the gruelling demands of long-distance road racing, the punishing demands of mountain biking and cyclocross or the exhilration of BMX riding, Maxxis tires have become renowned as the ultimate cycle tire for enthusiasts and professionals around the globe.
We place great importance on providing cyclists with the best products possible and we are constantly striving to discover ways in which to improve and innovate the tires we offer.
