Maxxis Severe 29" XC Tire - 3C - EXO - E25

This ultra-light XC competition tire called Severe is the first choice when it gets wet and muddy. Its narrow profile cuts through thick mud and guarantees the necessary grip. At the same time, the new MaxxSpeed compound from Maxxis significantly reduces rolling resistance and adheres reliably to wet roots and stones.

3C MaxxSpeed
The new MaxxSpeed (2023) is the 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, our testing shows the new compound can save up to a minute over the course of a 90-minute race.

Tubeless Ready
Tubeless ready 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 flatting because there is no tube. Tubeless ready tires are denoted by the letters “TR” on the sidewall.

EXO Protection
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.
