3C MaxxGrip
Maxxis’ 3C MaxxGrip compound uses the stickiest, slowest rebounding rubber we offer in a mountain bike tire. This high traction compound is the same one used by our top World Cup Downhill and Enduro World Series athletes and is now available in a variety of casing configurations to cover all riders.
- 3C MaxxGrip + EXO casing = Light duty trail riding in wet/slick conditions
- 3C MaxxGrip + EXO+ casing = All-around trail riding in wet/slick conditions
- 3C MaxxGrip + DoubleDown casing = Enduro racing and e-bikes
- 3C MaxxGrip + Downhill casing = Downhill racing and long travel e-bikes
3C MaxxTerra
Maxxis’ 3C MaxxTerra is an intermediate triple compound configuration used across our mountain tire line. The 3C MaxxTerra compound offers more traction than 3C MaxxSpeed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than MaxxGrip, which makes it ideal for trail riding in all conditions.
Super Tacky (ST)
Super Tacky (ST) is a special low-rebound, high-traction compound used in select mountain tires.
