Whether you're replacing a worn tyre, upgrading your current setup or choosing tyres for a custom bike build, Maxxis offers proven options for different terrain, riding styles and levels of performance.

Maxxis Mountain Bike Tyres

Maxxis is especially well known for its mountain bike and MTB tyre range, with tyres developed for traction, control, braking performance and durability on demanding terrain.

Popular Maxxis mountain bike tyres include the Minion DHF, Minion DHR II, Assegai and Aggressor, each offering a different balance of rolling speed, cornering grip and braking traction.

For riders tackling rocky trails, loose dirt, steep descents or technical off-road terrain, choosing the right front and rear tyre combination can make a major difference to confidence and control.

Maxxis Minion DHF

The Maxxis Minion DHF is one of the brand's most recognised mountain bike tyres.

Designed with aggressive cornering and predictable grip in mind, the DHF is commonly used as a front tyre for trail, enduro and downhill riding. Its tread pattern is designed to provide strong braking traction while maintaining confidence when leaning the bike through corners.

Depending on the casing, compound and size selected, the Minion DHF can suit everything from regular trail riding to more demanding gravity-focused use.

Maxxis Minion DHR II

The Maxxis Minion DHR II is another extremely popular MTB tyre and is often selected as a rear tyre when paired with the Minion DHF.

Its tread pattern is designed to deliver strong braking performance, cornering grip and traction under power. Riders looking for a reliable enduro, trail or downhill tyre combination often choose the DHF up front with the DHR II at the rear.

Maxxis Assegai

The Maxxis Assegai is designed for riders who prioritise maximum grip and control.

With an aggressive tread profile, the Assegai is suited to technical mountain biking, enduro and downhill use where cornering traction and predictable handling are especially important.

For riders who spend more time on challenging terrain than smooth trails, the Assegai can be an excellent option.

Maxxis Aggressor

The Maxxis Aggressor offers a versatile balance between rolling efficiency and trail grip.

It can work well as a rear tyre for riders who want something faster rolling than a full gravity-focused tyre while still maintaining dependable traction on varied surfaces.

For trail riders looking for a do-it-all setup, the Aggressor is a popular option to consider.

Maxxis Tubeless Tyres

Many Maxxis bike tyres are available in tubeless-ready configurations, making them suitable for riders looking to move away from traditional inner tubes.

A properly set up tubeless system can offer several benefits, including:

  • Lower tyre pressures
  • Improved traction
  • Increased comfort
  • Reduced risk of pinch flats
  • Better control over rough terrain
  • Greater puncture resistance when used with sealant

For gravel and mountain bike riders, tubeless tyres are now a popular upgrade.

Cycle House can help you choose compatible Maxxis tubeless tyres, valves, sealant and rim setups for your bike.

Maxxis EXO Protection

Selected Maxxis tyres are available with EXO Protection, a reinforced sidewall construction designed to improve puncture and abrasion resistance.

EXO casing options are especially useful for riders tackling rocky terrain, technical trails and demanding off-road conditions where sidewall protection can be important.

Different Maxxis tyres may also be available in alternative casing constructions depending on their intended use, so it is worth checking the specific product before ordering.

MaxxTerra Compounds

Some Maxxis mountain bike tyres are available with MaxxTerra compound technology.

MaxxTerra is designed to provide a balance between grip, rolling speed and durability, making it a popular choice for trail and enduro riders.

The right compound depends on how and where you ride. A softer compound may provide more grip, while a firmer compound can improve rolling efficiency and wear life.

Maxxis Gravel Tyres

For riders who spend time on mixed surfaces, the Maxxis range also includes gravel and adventure bike tyres.

Gravel tyres are designed to strike a balance between efficient rolling on sealed roads and dependable traction on dirt, loose gravel and unsealed paths.

Choosing the correct width, casing and tread pattern can make a noticeable difference to comfort and control, especially when riding longer distances or exploring rougher roads.

Maxxis BMX Tyres

Maxxis also has a long history in BMX, with tyres designed for dirt, street, park and racing disciplines.

Models such as the Maxxis DTH and Grifter are well known across the BMX community.

Whether you're looking for a fast-rolling BMX race tyre or a more durable option for street and park riding, Maxxis offers tyres suited to different riding styles.

Maxxis Tanwall & Skinwall Tyres

For riders who care about both performance and appearance, selected Maxxis tyres are available with tanwall or skinwall sidewalls.

These options can give a bike a distinctive look while still providing the same focus on grip, durability and performance associated with Maxxis.

Tanwall tyres are particularly popular on gravel bikes, mountain bikes and custom builds where aesthetics are an important part of the overall setup.

Choosing the Right Maxxis Tyre

The best Maxxis tyre for your bike depends on your riding style, terrain, wheel size and preferred tyre pressure.

Important things to consider include:

  • Road, gravel, BMX or mountain bike use
  • Front versus rear tyre
  • Tread pattern
  • Tyre width
  • Wheel size
  • Tubeless compatibility
  • Casing type
  • TPI
  • Sidewall protection
  • Rubber compound
  • Rolling speed
  • Braking traction
  • Cornering grip

A fast-rolling tyre for commuting will have very different characteristics from an aggressive downhill tyre, so it is important to choose a tyre that matches your bike and intended use.

Maxxis Tyre Sizes & Compatibility

Maxxis tyres are available in a wide range of sizes for modern bicycles.

Before purchasing, check your existing tyre size, rim width and bike frame or fork clearance. Tyre width can influence comfort, grip, rolling resistance and handling, while some modern rims are specifically designed to work with wider tyres.

For mountain bikes, factors such as WT or Wide Trail compatibility may also be relevant depending on the tyre and rim combination.

If you're unsure which Maxxis tyre will fit your bike, speak with the Cycle House team before ordering.

Upgrade Your Bike with Maxxis Tyres

Changing tyres is one of the simplest ways to alter the way a bike feels and performs.

A suitable Maxxis tyre setup can improve:

  • Cornering confidence
  • Braking traction
  • Off-road grip
  • Comfort
  • Rolling speed
  • Puncture protection
  • Tubeless performance

For mountain bikes in particular, choosing the correct front and rear tyre combination can significantly change how the bike handles.
