    3C MaxxSpeed

    Used primarily in cross country (XC) tires, the two compounds in the outer layer are specially formulated to reduce rolling resistance and optimize treadwear and traction.

    *Note that the 3C MaxxSpeed compound is being phased out for the new MaxxSpeed launched in April 2023.

    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.

    EXO

    EXO is a cut- and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of many Maxxis mountain bike and gravel tires. This densely woven fabric is lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tire remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for enhanced durability for gravel, XC, and light-duty trail riding.

    EXO+

    EXO+ is Maxxis’ medium-duty puncture protection option suitable for all-around trail riding and light weight e-bikes. We begin with a durable 60 TPI casing, add in our legendary EXO puncture protection layer in the sidewalls, and top it off with a small butyl insert around the bead. The tough casing and EXO material ward off damage from rocks and roots, while the butyl insert protects the tire from pinch flats and helps prevent rim damage.

    Tubeless Ready

    Maxxis Tubeless Ready (TR) tires offer better traction, lower rolling resistance, and fewer flats by eliminating the inner tube. Run lower pressures for improved grip and control. Look for the “TR” marking on the sidewall.

    Installation Note: Must be used with tubeless-compatible rims and liquid sealant to maintain air pressure and seal small punctures. Check and refresh sealant regularly as it dries over time.

    Important: Use sealant only in tubeless road, tubular, or tubeless ready tires. Using it in other Maxxis models voids the warranty.

    Wide Trail

    The Wide Trail (WT) designation is being phased out, learn more here: https://www.maxxis.com/us/news/wide-trail-labeling-discontinued/
