Maxxis Dissector Folding Tubeless Tyre 3C MaxxGrip Double Down WT

The Maxxis Dissector 27.5 X 2.4 WT 120 TPI Folding 3C MaxxGrip Double Down Tubeless Tyre is engineered to meet the demands of serious mountain bikers who require a precise balance between speed and control on varied trail conditions. Developed with insights from professional downhill racer Troy Brosnan, this tyre delivers exceptional performance through its advanced compound and innovative design. Whether deployed on the front, rear, or both wheels, it offers consistent handling and durability across dry, hard, and mixed terrains.

Incorporating Maxxis’s proprietary 3C MaxxGrip compound, the Dissector provides superior traction and controlled rebound, ensuring confident cornering and stability during aggressive riding. The Wide Trail (WT) design is tailored for modern wider rims (30-35mm inner width), optimising the tyre profile for enhanced stability without sacrificing rolling efficiency. Additionally, the DoubleDown casing delivers robust protection comparable to downhill tyres but with reduced weight, making it an ideal choice for enduro racers and trail riders prioritising reliability and resilience.

Designed as a tubeless ready tyre, the Maxxis Dissector allows for lower air pressures, which improves grip, reduces rolling resistance, and minimises the risk of punctures. With a maximum inflation pressure of 40 PSI and a folding bead construction, this tyre combines technical sophistication with practical usability, making it a dependable component for riders seeking high-quality performance.
