The
Maxxis High Roller II uses an open and aggressive tread design intended
to find traction in loose conditions. A large channel between the the
center knobs and side knobs provides a looser, drifty feel desired by
some riders.
Wide Trail (WT) construction optimizes the tire’s tread layout and
profile on today’s modern, wider rims. Traditional tires are designed
around older, narrower rims and can create an overly square tire
profile, leading to less than optimal performance. WT tires are
optimized for a 35mm inner rim width but are proven to work over a range
from 30-35mm inner rim widths, depending on the rider’s preference.
The
open and aggressive tread design gives the High Roller II excellent
soil penetration and mud clearing ability. A square profile provides a
solid, consistent feel across the knobs. Modified knobs on the shoulder
and center improve braking performance and traction on hard surfaces.
When gravity pulls you downhill, rely on the High Roller II to keep you
upright.
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 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 Protection is a proprietary woven material based sidewall
- 3C Terra is a softer compound formula with more traction than the
Maxx Speed, but better treadwear and less rolling resistance than the
Maxx Grip
- Wide Trail (WT) sizes are optimized for 35mm inner width rims
