The slightly raised side lugs ensure precise cornering and the impressive Maxxis rubber compounds adhere particularly well in wet conditions. The bead core must hold the tyre securely on the rim. High-quality wire is very well suited for this - the disadvantages are Not foldable and somewhat heavier (approx. 50g more). MPCDer Maxxis Performance Compound is Maxxis' all-round compound. This rubber compound also benefits from the development expertise of the world's largest bicycle tyre manufacturer and convinces in daily use with very long life, grip and maximum reliability.
