Maxxis Dissector 29x2.6 Tubeless Folding Tyre 60 TPI 3C MaxxTerra EXO Trail Bike Tire

The Maxxis Dissector 29 x 2.6 60 TPI Folding 3C MaxxTerra EXO Tubeless Tyre is engineered for riders seeking an exceptional balance between speed and control on the trails. Developed alongside Australian downhill champion Troy Brosnan, this tyre is crafted to minimize drag while maintaining superior cornering stability. Its versatile design allows it to perform equally well as a front tyre, rear tyre, or paired front and rear, adapting seamlessly to a variety of trail conditions.

Featuring the advanced 3C MaxxGrip compound, the Dissector offers unparalleled traction thanks to its soft rubber formulation and slow rebound characteristics, ideal for downhill and aggressive riding. The Wide Trail construction ensures the tyre profile is perfectly optimized for modern 35mm inner rim widths, delivering improved grip and handling over traditional tyres designed for narrower rims. Reinforced with DoubleDown casing layers, this tyre combines the durability and protection of a downhill tyre with a lighter weight, making it a reliable choice for enduro racers and serious trail riders alike.

Designed with tubeless readiness, the Maxxis Dissector enables riders to run lower air pressures, enhancing traction and reducing rolling resistance for a smoother, more efficient ride. Its folding bead design adds to the tyre’s portability and ease of installation. Optimized for dry to medium trail conditions, this tyre is a compelling option for riders who demand both speed and control without compromising on durability or performance.
