A legend among tyres, the standard by which other tyres are measured. The DHF uses angled knobs that reduce rolling resistance, with milled grooves that increase the number of contact edges, providing better control in a straight line and precise cornering.

DD – Double Down

Double Down is the next step in the evolution of multi-layer-casing tyres, finding use especially in technical disciplines. Two layers of casing with a total TPI of 120 are reinforced on the sides with a butyl insert, which helps stiffen the tyre and protect the vulnerable sidewalls. In the all-mountain tyre category it is the highest level of protection.

TR (Tubeless Ready) – tubeless is the law!

Todays world is extremely favourable to tubeless systems using sealant. Maxxis TR tyres fully match this trend. On the one hand they are considerably lighter than the previously used LUST (Light UST) variants, yet their construction and bead shape perfectly meet the needs of tubeless setups. Tubeless tyres can be run at lower pressure, which increases the contact patch and the treads ability to follow the terrain, while removing the risk of a pinch puncture, i.e. damage to the tube. Last but not least, weight is saved, and without a separate tube the friction inside the wheel is reduced too.

Dual, Single and 3C compounds

It all starts with the basic variant labelled Single, meaning one compound for the whole tread, which however does not occur on Maxxis sport tyres. The starting point is the more advanced Dual compound, which uses rubber of two hardnesses. Specifically a firmer centre and inner structure of the tyre guaranteeing stability and low rolling resistance, plus softer sides and a surface layer for maximum grip when biting and in corners.
