Maxxis Dissector 29 x 2.60 Exo TR Fold Tyre [Colour: Tanwall]
Troy Brosnan's Go-Fast Signature Tyre Troy wanted a “unicorn” of a tyre – a center tread design that carried speed easily but with edge blocks worthy of world-class cornering speed. Using our Rekon, Minon DHF, and High Roller II tread patterns as a starting point, Troy and our engineering team began development on the Dissector during the 2018 World Cup season. The center knobs are all heavily ramped to minimize drag, but retain sharp, flat edges along their backs to provide strong braking traction. Small sipes give the knobs additional flexion, increasing their surface area during braking and aiding the transition to the edge blocks when cornering. C-shaped edge blocks alternate between being closer and farther away from the center line of the tyre. This pattern reduces vagueness when transferring from the center tread to the cornering tread. A distinct channel along either side of the center knobs – along with ample spacing between all lugs – helps to clear debris. Recommended as a rear tyre Ideal for dry, fast tracks and bike parks Wide Trail (WT) casing is optimized for 30-35mm inner rim widths EXO An extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of select mountain tires. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tire remains unaffected. 3C MaxxTerra An intermediate compound configuration used in select mountain tires. 3C Maxx- Terra is softer and offers more traction than 3C MaxxSpeed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than MaxxGrip. 3C MaxxGrip 3C MaxxGrip uses the softest rubber compounds to offer the ultimate in grip and slow rebound properties for unparalleled traction in downhill applications.

Great rolling tire with fantastic braking traction, side to side it is a bit playful (if you’re looking for lateral traction look at the DHR/Aggressor). Super playful, until you get it leaned into the side knobs the back end will stay fairly loose—likely not confidence inspiring for someone just getting into the sport.Beginner/Novice: I would rate 3.5 starsExperienced Riders: 5 stars assuming you want a loose and playful tire.

I've been riding Maxxis for several years, and I have a lot of experience with the Minion DHR and Minion DHR II. I felt like the DHR II was sucking the life out of my ride, and I didn't like the weight of the Minions. But I didn't want to sacrifice downhill traction - especially up front. Then I discovered the Dissector. What a pleasant surprise!! The Dissector is about 8 ounces lighter than a Minion; that's about 1 lb lighter for two tires. Everything about the Dissector seems better without sacrificing traction in cornering. The first difference I noticed was how fast they roll compared to Minions. Combine that with a weight savings and I'm hooked.Troy Brosnan designed the Dissector after the Minion DHF, but with a faster rolling center. It was originally sold as ...

People gonna do what they gonna do, but remember that I said to try out the Dissector.

This has become my favorite all-round trail tire for dry, moderately loose and rocky trail conditons here in the Midwest (OK, AR, CO, NM). I'm a 50+ yr old trail rider who loves technical old-school hand-cut singletrack. I had previously run Vittorias for a few years (Mazzas and Motas most recently) that worked pretty well, but I was really impressed with the 2.4 Dissector.My '21 Tallboy came stock with a 2.4 Dissector up front and a 2.4 Recon in the rear. The Dissector is a great "middle-ground" trail tire that offers excellent grip for its moderate weight and low rolling resistance. Perfect for most of the conditions/trails I ride. The Recon was decent in the rear initially, but not grippy enough for loose, steep, climbs. I replaced it with the 2.4 Dissector (a ...

I replaced it with the 2.4 Dissector (a much gripper tire), and really didn't notice any additional rolling resistance. Now my Tallboy has a 2.6 Dissector up front and a 2.4 in the rear. The 2.6 is probably overkill for most of the riding I do in OK, but it saved my bacon multiple times when riding deep sand here locally and on faster, more enduro-y terrain in AR and CO. Not much of a weight or rolling resistance penalty for running that much beef up front. Highly recommended!

Running Dissector's front and back on my YT Izzo. Big upgrade over the stock Maxxis Forecasters in terms of grip and durability and only added about 150g per tire. Yes they are slower rolling than the Forecasters but i really don't notice this all that much except on smooth fire trails.
The Dissector (120 TPI) came stock on the rear of my bike and has ridden/handled well. It seemed to wear prematurely, especially when I took it into the bike park. Finally got a pinch flat, and I was happy enough with it that I am considering it again (or perhaps Minion DHR or High Roller). I tend to ride in damp to very dry conditions, so (in trying to avoid the mud) I can't really evaluate its performance in full-on muddy conditions.
Tried a lot of tires / combos on my Ripmo and settled on Minion DHF 2.5 EXO+ WT front, dissector 2.4 EXO+ WT rear both maxx terra. Big fan of this combo in northern california / bay area. 35mm rims and I weigh 150 lbs. I didnt like dissector in front (with dissector rear) - I think it's too limiting of the fox 36, doesnt track nearly as well or grip nearly as well as 2.5 DHF in front. I think it'd be better on a bike with a fox 34 - my friend has that with rekon rear on his Rocky Mountain instinct with 30mm rims and really likes that combo. For perspective I hated the aggressor rear (too washy) and I also have an EXO+ DHRII for when I go ride much more gnarly borderline DH trails - it has better grip and braking than dissector but quite slower rolling. Normal ride ... MoreTried a lot of tires / combos on my Ripmo and settled on Minion DHF 2.5 EXO+ WT front, dissector 2.4 EXO+ WT rear both maxx terra.

Normal ride is 10 miles with 1500 ft climbing, roots, rock gardens, and some flowy dirt/dust sections and DHF + Dissector is great for this. Havent tried Assegai, maybe ill try in front sometime but probably not.
Wanted a bit more grip for the rear tire on my Yeti SB5 after running Continental Mountain Kings and Specialized Slaughter semi-slick for awhile. Those two tires weren't bad for my hometown trails, but wanted more for my frequent trips to Bentonville. Definitely provides the grip in the back, although there's a little bit of a weight penalty. Running this in the back with a DHF in front. Honestly, could see myself running the Dissector as a front tire instead and would be just fine. Durability has been good so far.
Pretty pleased with this tire so far. I've had it on for about 300 minutes and so far it is wearing nicely (Exo+, Max Terra). I've almost exclusively run DHR2's in the rear up to this point but I wanted to give this a try after reading some reviews about it. On our dry PNW trails (Bellingham) this has excelled and given me what I was hoping for, a bit faster rolling but still plenty of grip in the corners.Comparing the side knobs on the DHR2 and this Dissector would lead you to believe this wouldn't corner nearly as well. However even with the smaller side knobs I haven't felt any reduction in traction in the corners. My times on Strava are right on with the old DHR2 for the conditions, in some cases beating them in part I think because of the slightly faster ... MorePretty pleased with this tire so far.

I've taken this on flow, jumps, and chunky tech and it has performed well in all of the different conditions.I'm going to go back to the DHR2 in the fall when the rain starts again and we have more puddles and mud for the added grip, but for a Summer tire I think this is it for me.
I’m a tire geek and this is my favorite rear tire so far. I’ve used it mostly on Colorado’s Front Range where it is very rocky, but in many places has deep and loose decomposed granite like kitty litter too. It also performs great in Moab’s slickrock country and the Arizona desert.
Great tire but description fails to mention that this is a "WT" Wide Trail that is intended for very wide modern MTB rims 30mm+ in width. It still works - I have it mounted on an older bike with ~18mm skinny rims (tubeless) and it is seated just fine and holding air and I've done rides on it and it's fine. But because it's designed for wide rims, the profile of the tread isn't as square as you'd imagine, so when cornering the tread profile isn't as designed, and you need to lean more to get that bite.
