- The Exo Protection offers protection to the sidewalls from sharp rocks.
- The soft MaxxSpeed rubber might offer a lot of grip, it also wears out quickly.

Great Sumer Tyre
Summer tyre that can handle a bit of wet trails as well. Rides well over roots and rocks and quite tough.
Pros
- grip
- longevity
Cons
- expensive
Best all round tyre ever!
Have been using Maxxis tyres for 6 years with only 1 puncture. These sit perfectly between the Ikon & Beaver for racing and is used more than either one in all conditions.
Pros
- Robustness
- Grip
- Predictability
Cons
- None
Door de band genomen een goede band :-)
Deze band gekocht om XC toch doorheen de bergen te rijden. Met 'n Ikon vooraan voelde ik me niet altijd even veilig bij het betere bochtenwerk. Band doet perfect wat je ervan verwacht, alleen bij bochten in los zand durft ie soms controle te verliezen
Pros
- goede grip op ruwe ondergrond
Cons
- niet beste band voor losser zand
Super band.
Geweldige band. Alleen spijtig dat ik speciaal bij jullie koop omdat hij de dag daarna geleverd word,en daar is niet aangehouden.
Cons
- Slechte levering. Teleurgesteld
Super band
Fijne band Goede rij eigenschappen Makkelijk te monteren Goede service
Pros
- Goede rij eigenschap
- Snel in de bochten
Cons
- Bij te lage druk slecht spoor

3C Triple compound mountain
Maxxis 3C Triple compound mountain technology uses a harder, longer lasting base layer and two progressively softer top layers in order to optimize traction and stability. Maxxis offers three different configurations of our 3C Triple compound mountain technology: Maxx speed, Maxx Terra and Maxx Grip.
Maxx speed
Used primarily in cross country and enduro tires, the two compounds in the outer layer are specially formulated to reduce rolling resistance and optimize treadwear and traction.
EXO Protection
An extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of select mountainbike tires. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tire remains unaffected. Choose EXO protection for exceptionally rocky, treacherous trails where the chance of sidewall cuts and abrasions is high.
Tubeless ready
Tubeless 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 flattering since there is no tube. Maxxis Tubeless Ready (TR) tires provide the benefits of a UST tubeless tire without the weight penalty.
