Maxxis bicycle tyres

MAXXIS offers a wide range, that considers the differing requirements in various cycling disciplines. The product range includes bicycle tyres for everyday use and for racing bikes, as well as tyres for other forms of cycling.

MAXXIS has suitable tyres for the following bike styles:

• Mountainbikes (MTB)
• Trekking and city bikes
• Cyclocross and gravel
• Road bike
• Fat-Bike, BMX, Trial

Sophisticated tyre technology

When it comes to technology and equipment, MAXXIS boasts its own expertise. The manufacturer is transparent with regard to the properties of its carcasses and bead cores. MAXXIS produces bicycle tyres with both single-layer and double-layer carcasses, whereby one layer is considered standard – this refers to the fabric layer that surrounds the bead core.

The construction can differ depending on the tyre model. In terms of the bead core, there are three variants: the clincher bead core for clincher tyres, the folding bead core for folding tyres, and special bead cores for tubeless tyres. The tubeless racing bike tyres from MAXXIS are coated with an internal butyl rubber layer and have a carbon bead.

Of interest to E-bike riders: all MAXXIS cycling tyres can be used on E-bikes however, only up to a speed of 25 km/h. Those who like to cycle at higher speeds will need to fit their bikes with special tyres.

Puncture protection, with MAXXIS tyres

MAXXIS assigns a total of 7 different puncture protection labels to its tyres. The special puncture protection layers are designed to meet varying requirements. The materials used also include Kevlar fibre from DuPont.

The following protective layers are used by MAXXISD:

MAXXSHIELD: combines SilkShield with Kevlar

Composite

KEVLAR INSIDE: puncture protection layer with embedded Kevlar fibres

KEVLAR COMPOSITE K2: exclusive MAXXIS fabric with Kevlar fibres

SILKSHIELD: all-round protective layer made from the Silkworm protective layer developed by MAXXIS

NYLON BREAKER: reinforces the carcass and thus offers greater protection against punctures

MAXXPROTECT: tough, fibre-based material between the tread and the carcass,

The most important component of the tyre: the rubber compound used for the tread

The composition of the running surface rubber has a crucial; influence on the performance of a tyre. Bicycle tyres that look identical on first glance can be suitable for entirely different areas of use if a different rubber compound is used. Over the years, MAXXIS has developed and improved various rubber compounds, and always demands the highest quality. The compounds are divided into three categories: Triple Compound, Dual Compound, and Single Compound.

3C TRIPLECOMPOUND RACING BIKE: a harder silica compound in the middle, for low roll resistance, with two softer compounds at the sides for better grip when cornering

3C TRIPLECOMPOUND MTB: a harder base compound in combination with two softer compounds

3C MAXX SPEED: a particularly durable compound, designed for minimum roll resistance

3C MAXX TERRA: a smooth-running compound for optimal grip on descents

3C MAXX GRIP: a compound for downhill riding, stronger grip and very good damping properties

SUPERTACKY: a base compound, combined with a Supertacky compound for extreme grip

EXCEPTION: a particularly light and durable compound for exceptional grip, with low roll resistance

MAXXPRO: finely ground components for good damping properties, low roll resistance, the avoidance of lug tears, and a long service life.

MPC: the all-rounder of the rubber compounds

Conclusion: with MAXXIS, there are a wide range of materials available

MAXXIS offers tyres for most areas of use, both for various forms of competitive cycling, and for everyday use. On account of the numerous rubber compounds, finding the perfect composition for your own tyres is simple. In combination with the various tyre types, the puncture protection and carcass technology can be selected in order to consider the cyclists individual requirements with regard to tyre properties.
