The Maxxis All Terrane is a high performance racing tyre designed to maintain speed over a wide range of race conditions. The unique raised and ramped knob design means youll have plenty of grip as the knobs dig into loose ground while still have plenty of speed on harder packed surfaces. When things get muddy the Maxxis All Terrane easily flicks the excess mud away as soon as you pick up speed, be prepared to excel out on the cyclocross course - your tyres cant wait! This tyre is stitched closed around an inner tube which means it isn't like you're regualr tyre and needs to be glued or taped to your tubular specfic rims. Tubular tyres are designed for racing and benefit from a reduction in rolling resistance meaning it delivers an increase in speed and performance, you can run lower pressures too for better tractions thanks to no fear of the tyre falling off the rim! Silkworm is a lightweight material inserted into the tyre casing which significantly increases puncture resistance and tear resistance. Like a tyre liner it sits beneath the surface right in the hot spot ready to stop any derbis from puncturing through to your inner tube - with Maxxis Silkworm you'll be in the saddle for longer without as many roadside repairs! This tyre is specifically designed to be by your side as you fight your way through a gruelling cyclocross bike race, it can be used in other situations as well such as gravel but is at home pushing the limits out on the course.
