Maxxis Severe MaxxSpeed Exo 29-inch MTB tyre with flexible beads, tubeless ready

The new Maxxis Severe cross-country MTB tyre is ideal for MTB riders who want to perform well on muddy and slippery terrain.
This tyre was developed in collaboration with Nino Schurter, ten-time world champion. It is now his tyre of choice when conditions are muddy and the terrain becomes challenging.
These characteristics are made possible by a specially adapted tyre pattern. The tread features a central section with low, slightly angled lugs. These provide good efficiency whilst delivering excellent traction in mud.
The side knobs are spaced sufficiently apart, which helps to clear away sticky mud when the terrain is wet.
The Severe’s side lugs have the advantage of being arranged in two rows. The upper section features lower, closer-set lugs to optimise performance, whilst the side lugs are taller to enhance grip in corners.
To further enhance performance in mud, the Maxxis Severe tyre is available in 29x2.25” size to effectively cut through mud and facilitate its removal.
As you can see, we recommend fitting this tyre if you ride XC & XC Marathon mountain biking in challenging weather conditions.

Exo Protection technology to reduce punctures
A material that is more resistant to cuts and abrasions is integrated into the tyre’s sidewalls, whilst maintaining its original weight and flexibility for top-level performance.

MaxxSpeed Single Compound technology for optimised performance
This new rubber compound delivers a 25% performance gain compared to the 3C compound. A significant advantage for optimising your performance and beating your rivals to the finish line.

Regarding fitting, we recommend tubeless to make the most of this tyre’s characteristics. On muddy terrain, we recommend a pressure of between 1.2 and 1.4 bar to ensure the tyre deforms correctly.
