Maxxis Severe MaxxSpeed EXO MTB Tire Item # 2041960
Description
The Maxxis Severe is designed for XC racing in wet, muddy conditions. To prevent mud collection, the tread pattern uses small, spiky knobs spaced widely apart.
MaxxSpeed
The new MaxxSpeed (2023) is Maxxis' top-shelf rubber compound for XC racing. It's a high-silica content compound which reduces rolling resistance while also enhancing wet traction. Compared to the previous 3C MaxxSpeed, the new compound has approximately 25% less rolling resistance in a lab setting (using the same tread pattern, construction, and tire pressure). In a real world setting, testing shows the new compound can save up to a minute over the course of a 90-minute race.
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.
