Yes – MAXXIS road cycling tires are trusted by riders worldwide for racing, training, and everyday commuting. Available in clincher, tubeless, and tubular formats, they offer the right balance of speed, grip, and reliability to match any performance goal or riding style.

Tubeless MAXXIS bicycle tires are designed to be used without an inner tube, relying on an airtight seal between the tire and rim. This setup offers benefits like reduced rolling resistance and fewer flats. Tubed tires, on the other hand, require an inner tube to hold air. The choice between tubeless and tubed depends on your performance needs and maintenance preferences.

Tubeless ready tyres must be mounted on a tubeless-compatible rim and use a liquid sealant to retain air. If a tyre does not have the Tubeless Ready designation, it should only be used with an inner tube.

MAXXIS offers Tubeless Ready (TR) tires for all riding disciplines.

Many MAXXIS bicycle tires feature puncture protection technologies, such as EXO Protection and SilkShield, which offer increased resistance to cuts and abrasions. These features enhance durability and reduce the likelihood of flats, making them suitable for challenging terrains.

Installing tubeless MAXXIS bike tires involves several steps: ensure your rims are tubeless-compatible, apply tubeless rim tape to seal spoke holes, install a tubeless valve, mount the tire onto the rim, add sealant through the valve or by partially unseating the tire, and inflate the tire to create a secure bead lock.

For gravel riding, MAXXIS offers tires like the Rambler and Ravager, which are designed to provide a balance of speed, traction, and durability on mixed surfaces. These tires feature tread patterns optimized for loose and uneven terrain, ensuring a confident ride on gravel paths.

MAXXIS offers a variety of bicycle tires tailored to different weight and performance needs. Lightweight models like the Aspen are built for cross-country racing, where reduced weight means faster acceleration and improved efficiency. However, as with any setup, there's a trade-off between weight, durability, and puncture protection. Choosing the right tires means finding the balance that fits your riding style and terrain.

Yes, some MAXXIS motorcycle tires are designed with reinforced sidewalls. For example, the Maxxcross MX-SM, our high-performance sand and mud tire, features reinforced sidewalls to provide optimal damping and a more comfortable ride. However, not all of our tires include this technology—construction varies depending on the specific model and its intended use.

The difference lies in focus and feel. MAXXIS touring motorcycle tires are built for comfort, long life, and all-weather reliability—perfect for long-distance riders who value stability and mileage. Performance tires, on the other hand, use softer compounds for maximum grip, precise handling, and high-speed control, making them ideal for aggressive riding and sharp cornering. Touring means endurance; performance means precision.

Tires should be replaced when the tread depth reaches the minimum legal limit, which varies by country but is often around 1.6mm. Additionally, signs such as uneven wear, cracks, punctures, or a noticeable decrease in performance indicate that it's time for a replacement. Regular inspections are essential to ensure safety.

Yes, new motorcycle tires typically require a break-in period. This allows the tire's surface to roughen up, enhancing grip. It's recommended to ride cautiously for the first 100 to 200 miles, avoiding aggressive maneuvers, to ensure optimal performance.

The lifespan of MAXXIS motorcycle tires varies based on riding style, terrain, maintenance, and compound type. While mileage can differ, regular inspections for tread wear, cracks, or aging are essential. Even with good tread, tires older than five years should be replaced, as rubber compounds naturally degrade over time—impacting safety and performance.
