Maxxis Tomahawk EXO 3C 27.5x2.3in tyre

Tubeless inflation of the new Tomahawk is blissfully easy. Even the Double Down DH version still fits wide rims without a fight and both casings come in 26in as well as 650b and 29in sizes.

Maxxis Minion SS EXO TR 2.3in tyre

Maxxis have jumped back into the heavy-duty slick game (there used to be a High Roller Semi Slick) with the Minion SS and it’s a usefully quick but reassuringly grippycornering tyre for adding at least a gear to your hardcore riding.

Maxxis Aggressor 3C Maxx Terra EXO TR 2.3in tyre

Maxxis have the full-on aggro quarter covered with the Shorty, High Roller II and Minion, while the Ardent, Ardent Race, CrossMark and Ikon are all classic max-speed choices.

Maxxis Minion DHF 3C Max Terra Exo TR 2.3in tyre

Our favourite Maxxis tread was one of the last to make the transfer to 650b but it's been worth the wait.

Maxxis Griffin DH tyre

We first saw a prototype of this tyre on the rear wheel of Jared Graves’s Yeti at last year’s Enduro World Series finals, where he clinched the overall title.

Maxxis Shorty Downhill tyres

'CUT SPIKE' TYRES are appearing from most manufacturers now, bridging the gap between all-conditions intermediate tyres and full mud spikes.

Maxxis Minion DHR II EXO TR 29x2.3in tyre

AS YOU'D EXPECT from the chunky centre tread blocks and aggressive shoulders, the Minion DHR II is most at home being ridden aggressively and particularly shines on steep, loose tracks. Scream into a dusty chute at speed and you'll be surprised by just how much you can get the DHR II to bite in when you pull on the brakes.
