The maxxis dissector returns with a host of upgrades that improve performance across the board. Most notably, the side knobs have been completely redesigned with a larger footprint and reworked sipes, boosting stability and predictability in corners?Especially on hard terrain. The new shape resists deflection under load, increasing both durability and control. Side knob engagement is also quicker, giving riders a more confident, planted feel in turns.The center tread retains the familiar 2-3-2 layout, but the center 3 has been split into individual knobs for improved braking traction and better terrain conformity. Transition knobs have been pushed outward, creating a smoother, more consistent feel as the tyre leans over. Like the side knobs, the center tread also benefits from revised sipes for enhanced grip and longevity. These updates make the dissector an even more versatile option for short- to mid-travel trail bikes. It excels as a front tyre on bikes with 130-140mm of travel, especially when paired with a fast-rolling rear like the forekaster or rekon. On longer travel bikes (150mm+), it serves as a fast, confident rear tyre in dry conditions

3c maxxterra compoundan intermediate compound configuration used in select mountain tires. 3c maxxterra is softer and offers more traction than 3c maxxspeed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than maxxgrip
exo +our exo+ construction combines two of our best puncture protection materials: silkshield and exo. The silkshield layer runs from bead-to-bead with a layer of exo along the sidewalls. Combined, these two materials create exo + which improves tread puncture protection by 27%; sidewall durability by 51%; and resistance to pinch flats by 28%
tubeless readytubeless tyres 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 tyre; and less chance of flatting since there is no tube. Liquid sealants should only be used in the following types of tyres: tubeless road, tubular, and tubeless ready. The use of liquid sealants in any other maxxis tyre will void the warranty
