Maxxis Rambler 700x38c 60TPI Silkshield TR Folding Gravel Tyre
What technology does it use in its construction? The Rambler comes in with a Dual Compound rubber arrangement as standard, with the option of two casings to suit your application. A choice of Maxxis' popular EXO casing for additional puncture protection and reinforcement, or the Silkshield model for all round puncture resistance at a lower price point. Both options come Tubeless Ready and depending on your choice of casing, the carbon fibre bead or standard spun aramid fibre bead is available.What is the intended use? The Rambler was introduced by Maxxis as a gravel tyre, blurring the lines between road riding and mountain bike. While its intended use is gravel tracks and fire roads with its high volume design optimised for comfort and bump absorption and its low profile tread pattern, spaced out on the edges for predictable and trustworthy cornering. The Rambler can be use on road and on hardpack trails terrain with no real sacrifice.Our verdict In our opinion, the Rambler is an extremely diverse tyre optimised for, but not restricted to gravel riding. Whether your a through and through adventure gravel rider or just looking to mix up your daily commute, the Rambler offers predictability and confidence in a range of situations and terrains.

Ran 650b x 47mm on a 200km bikepack this past weekend, over mix of pavement, loose gravel, grass, light mud. Tires handle very well, good grip and comfort, decent rolling resistance. Set up tubeless and running 32-36psi, no leaks or sealant weeping. Bought a second set in 700c x 38mm for my second set of wheels. Very happy with these tires compared with the Panaracer Gravelkings which leak constantly.

As stated I love these tires, the set up, the tread pattern, the durability of the casing and overall performance are exceptional! But I just wish they lasted longer for the type of riding that i do. Additionally it would be fantastic if there was a taller knobs offering in this tread pattern. I'm located in Northern California and the trails we ride are not traditional gravel for the most part it is technical single tack and some fire roads. I believe the taller knobs would assist with some of our crazy steep and loose climb's and also improve the lifespan of the tire. (currently only getting about 3-400 miles on the rear, and about double that for the front). They are they are my go to tire and will continue to be for the forseable future. Also adding a skinwall ... MoreAs stated I love these tires, the set up, the tread pattern, the durability of the casing and overall performance are exceptional!

Also adding a skinwall option to the 45 size would be nice. Skinwalls for the win in my opinion for road, gravel, or mtn.

Between my wife and I, we've ridden four sets of the 700x40c 120 TPI EXO Ramblers. We love the traction they provide on lose gravel, while also being light weight, long wearing and fast rolling. My only complaint is that every tire has had leaky sidewalls, when run tubeless. Eventually I've been able to get them to hold air well enough, by adding sealant and letting them sit on each side for a time. I've had to switch to a tire that holds air better for endurance rides like the 240 mile Day Across Minnesota. Also, I'd love a Tan Wall option in a 120TPI 700X40C EXO. Do that and fix the leak and you'd have a perfect gravel tire for just about anything!

I've been running these on my gravel bike (2018 Norco Search carbon) after trying several other brands and models. Nothing beats these for me. I weigh 145 pounds and run the 38mm width, which measures around 35mm when inflated. These tires get me up loose, steep rocky jeep-roads without spinning out and I've only gotten two flats in two years on them - and I ride across a lot of sharp rocks in the Arizona desert and mountains. They come in wider versions, but I stick with the 38mm because I don't have a traction problem and they are light (lighter than most other brands in the same size, BTW). I do sink in sandy trails a little, but that's a relatively small part of my overall riding and it doesn't make sense to drag extra weight and rolling resistance just to ... MoreI've been running these on my gravel bike (2018 Norco Search carbon) after trying several other brands and models.

I do sink in sandy trails a little, but that's a relatively small part of my overall riding and it doesn't make sense to drag extra weight and rolling resistance just to mitigate the sandy sinkage. These tires roll pretty well on pavement, too, which is important to me because most of my gravel rides include some pavement sections. I use Stan's sealant and carry a Stan's Dart plug kit. Maxxis has no problem with Stan's sealant, but other tires (Continental and WTB, for example) do not like Stan's sealant and, therefore, are not compatible with the Stan's Dart.
Before Christmas 2020 I was in a bit of a bind. I had recently bought some 650b wheels and I had an epic ride planned between Xmas and NYE - an Everesting on a gravel track in the Dandenongs. So, I hunted around in my local bike shops and scoured the internet for tyres that would fit my bike (a Bombtrack Audax) and had the tread to climb on gravel. Then I found the Maxxis Rambler 120 TPI EXO TR in 650x47 on Bicycles Online, and the store had given me a discount the day before (winning!). So, I popped them in my cart and bought them with express shipping. Not only did they arrive in plenty of time for my epic, but they also came early enough that I test them out on the gravel roads out near Euroa.The soil Everesting was the hardest thing I have ever done, but ... MoreBefore Christmas 2020 I was in a bit of a bind.

Over the 217km and 8895m vert, they performed faultlessly - they descended the gravel track effortlessly and climbed back up like a nimble goat. I won’t ever do a soil Everesting again, but I look forward to taking on more epic gravel rides, maybe with not so much climbing though
I bought 3 of these tires. 2 from backcountry and 1 from another vendor at the same time. Of the 3 tires, 2 had weeping sidewalls when setup for tubeless (Stan's standard sealant). Maxxis replaced both under warranty and now I have 2 good tires installed. One is an original that I purchased, the other is a warranty replacement. The second replacement tire sits waiting as a backup and I'm optimistically assuming it won't have problems as it came direct from Maxxis warranty.After 4 months of riding I have had no further quality issues with the 2 tires I've used. Pressure loss is usually minimal dropping from 40 to 35 psi after 2 days. Pretty typical compared to others I've used.I do about 50/50 mix of pavement and dirt on my typical routes.

Pressure loss is usually minimal dropping from 40 to 35 psi after 2 days. Pretty typical compared to others I've used.I do about 50/50 mix of pavement and dirt on my typical routes. On pavement they run smooth and relatively quiet. Cornering is quite good. I don't feel like I'm dragging an anchor which is the feeling I've had with some cyclocross and "gravel" tires on the road.On dirt (typically loose over hardpack) they run true without much drift or squirrelliness on straightaways. Cornering is another matter. On hardpacked flat corners the tires drift somewhat predictably. On descents, corners are like a box of chocolates: you never know what you're gonna get. They might dig in and carve. They might break loose and put you off the trail. Totally unpredictable.I like the sizing and weight. The 45's have great air volume and are pleasingly light despite having reinforced SilkShield sidewalls.
I specifically purchased these tires for SBT GRVL (140+ miles gravel race in Steamboat Springs, CO), and believe me, they did not disappoint. They were an excellent choice for that race. The course pretty much threw every type of terrain at you; pavement, hero gravel, small pebble hard packed gravel, chunky gravel, loose deeper gravel, double track, etc., and these tires handled all of it flawlessly. I will be running them at future gravel races and will purchase them again when it's time to replace.
So far so good with these tires. I used them a while back, and needed some new tires to replace my Panaracer that had worn out. Bought the 40mm, and needed my compressor to mount the first tire, and was able to mount the 2nd with a floor pump. Not certain if that was due to tire / wheel tolerance variance or operator error.I just measured them on the wheels, and they ballooned to 43mm. No issues with my frame, just awareness.Smooth riding, grippy, and confidence inspiring for long days in the saddle.
Southeast Michgan Gravel - Changed front tire from a 45mm gravel king to the 50mm Maxxis Rambler with a goal of lower pressure and smoother ride. Sweet spot seems to be 18 psi and I weigh 190 lbs.Very pleased with the softer ride and it rolls really well, even on the asphalt. Highly recommend.
Very good for both off-road / dry trails as well as long 34 miles around lake on mixture of paved and crushed limestone. Minimal road resistance - Able to easily reach 20+ mph on straight / level path (non-motorized heavy off-road 29 inch hardtail) and average 16 mph+ on gently rolling hills. Provides good traction on shorter, steep and winding trails / occasional large rock / stumps. May not be enough traction if trail is not totally dry in shady areas / or facing steeper and longer inclines. Acknowledged trade-off as I tend to be riding more paths than trails.Only detraction is fact that one of the "puncture" resistant tubes appears to have a slow leak. Not sure if caused by tire failing to protect tube more. Lighter tire without as much tread as original tires / ... MoreVery good for both off-road / dry trails as well as long 34 miles around lake on mixture of paved and crushed limestone.
