Maxxis’ already excellent line of gravel tires is getting an upgrade with the introduction of the company’s new compound, HYPR-X. Combining the best technology from two Maxxis’ existing compounds, the low-rolling-resistance HYPR for road and the race-winning MaxxSpeed for mountain, HYPR-X will be incorporated into new editions of Maxxis’ entire gravel range.
Debuting throughout 2025, these enhanced versions of the Receptor, the Reaver, the Rambler and the Ravager will deliver 19% better cornering traction and 25% less rolling resistance. Other improvements include the new, even stronger nylon to be used for the 120 TPI casing, which will vastly increase tread durability, while the sidewalls will be safeguarded from cuts and abrasions by Maxxis’ EXO Protection. All specs will be tubeless-ready.
Designers haven’t forgotten aesthetics in these new gravel tires, either. All hot patches will feature Maxxis’ latest branding in a subtle shade of gray with a bit of orange for a stylish, sophisticated look. And in keeping with Maxxis’ ongoing efforts to reduce plastic waste for increased sustainability, these tires will ship in recyclable paper packaging.
The Reaver and the Rambler with HYPR-X and new casing will be available first in 700X45C, with other sizes debuting over the next three months. All sizes of the Ravager and the Receptor are scheduled to roll out in the third quarter of 2025.
