Maxxis Dissector Tyre

The Dissector is built for speed. Designed by Troy Brosnan, this tyre reduces drag while maintaining precise control. Whether you're racing downhill or hitting summer trails, it’s built to handle fast, dry conditions. This versatile tyre adapts to your needs, providing exceptional grip and speed.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Reduced drag design: The tyre’s shape and tread reduce resistance. This makes your ride faster and more efficient, helping you maintain high speeds.
• Tubeless compatibility: You can ride with lower pressure, improving grip. This results in better traction and control on technical terrain.
• Multiple setup options: Use it on the front, as a pair, or on the rear depending on trail conditions. This versatility allows you to adapt the tyre to match different riding styles and conditions.
• Superior cornering control: The tread pattern provides excellent grip when cornering. This ensures you can take on tight turns with precision, even at high speeds.

Maxxis Technologies (Compounds & Casings):

3C MaxxTerra - Maxxis’ 3C MaxxTerra is an intermediate triple compound configuration used across our mountain tyre line. The 3C MaxxTerra compound offers more traction than 3C MaxxSpeed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than MaxxGrip, which makes it ideal for trail riding in all conditions.

3C MaxxGrip - Maxxis’ 3C MaxxGrip compound uses the stickiest, slowest rebounding rubber we offer in a mountain bike tyre. This high traction compound is the same one used by our top World Cup Downhill and Enduro World Series athletes and is now available in a variety of casing configurations to cover all riders.

3C MaxxGrip + EXO casing = Light duty trail riding in wet/slick conditions

3C MaxxGrip + EXO+ casing = All-around trail riding in wet/slick conditions

3C MaxxGrip + DoubleDown casing = Enduro racing and e-bikes

3C MaxxGrip + Downhill casing = Downhill racing and long travel e-bikes

EXO - EXO is a cut and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of many Maxxis mountain bike and gravel tyres. This densely woven fabric is lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tyre remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for enhanced durability for gravel, XC, and light-duty trail riding.

EXO+ - EXO+ is Maxxis’ medium-duty puncture protection option suitable for all-around trail riding and lightweight e-bikes. We begin with a durable 60 TPI casing, add in our legendary EXO puncture protection layer in the sidewalls, and top it off with a small butyl insert around the bead. The tough casing and EXO material ward off damage from rocks and roots, while the butyl insert protects the tyre from pinch flats and helps prevent rim damage.

Double Down (DD) - DoubleDown (DD) is our casing solution for enduro racing and e-bike use. Two layers of our lightweight 120 TPI casing material are combined with a butyl sidewall insert to create a highly durable tyre with more trail feedback than a Downhill casing tyre. DoubleDown tyres are marginally lighter than their Downhill counterparts, but it’s really the difference in “trail feel” that sets the two apart. Some riders may prefer the highly damped ride provided by a Downhill casing tyre.

Wide Trail (WT) - Wide Trail (WT) construction optimises the tyre’s tread layout and profile on today’s modern, wider rims. Historically, tyres were designed around older, narrower rims which can create an overly square tyre profile, leading to suboptimal performance. Our Wide Trail (2.40-2.50″ width) tyres are optimised for a 35mm inner rim width but are proven to work over a range from 30-35mm inner rim widths, depending on the rider’s preference.

For riders focused on speed and control, the Dissector is ideal for dry, fast trails. Its drag-reducing design lets you go faster, while the cornering control keeps you safe in sharp turns. With a tubeless setup and wide trail casing, you get maximum grip and confidence on any ride.
