    High Road

    Introducing Maxxis’ redesigned all-purpose road race tire: the third generation High Road.  This tire features a new Turn-Up construction reducing weight while increasing puncture protection, 150 TPI casing, and a revised tread pattern. No matter the situation, tube or tubeless, you can count on the new High Road to get you there (fast).

    HYPR Compound

    HYPR is a full-silica compound and our best-performing compound to date. Compared to our previous road racing compound, HYPR has 16% less rolling resistance with 23% better grip in wet conditions. Impressively, HYPR decreases rolling resistance and increases traction, all while keeping durability equal to our previous rubber compounds.

    K2

    Available in select tires, this Maxxis-exclusive fabric provides greater puncture protection than aramid. The addition of this lightweight and supple material ensures that ride quality and performance remain unsurpassed.

    Tubeless Ready

    Tubeless ready tires provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tire; and less chance of flatting because there is no tube. Tubeless ready tires are denoted by the letters “TR” on the sidewall.
    Tubeless ready tires must be mounted to tubeless 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 your sealant regularly and refresh as needed as it will dry out over time.
    Liquid sealants should only be used in the following types of tires: tubeless road, tubular, and tubeless ready. The use of liquid sealants in any other Maxxis tire will void the warranty.

    New Recyclable Packaging

    As part of our ongoing effort to reduce our environmental impact, the High Road SL will ship in our new fully recyclable packaging. The paper box in which the new High Road SL will ship is made from 85-90% post-consumer recycled paper. Look for more innovations in this area as Maxxis expands the use of recycled materials into the construction of tires themselves.
