Maxxis Dissector Folding Tubeless Tyre 32 x 2.40 120 TPI MaxxTerra EXO+ Gravel Trail

The Maxxis Dissector 32 x 2.40 120 TPI Folding MaxxTerra EXO+ Tubeless Tyre represents a significant evolution in gravel and trail tyre technology. Designed with a focus on enhanced control and durability, this tyre boasts a completely redesigned side knob pattern that delivers superior stability and predictable cornering performance on hard terrain. Whether you’re navigating tight turns or rough surfaces, the Dissector provides quick side knob engagement, helping you maintain confidence and traction throughout your ride.

The central tread features the innovative 2-3-2 layout with a split center 3 knob design that improves braking traction and terrain adaptability. Transition knobs are positioned outward to create a smooth and consistent feel as the tyre leans, while revised sipes in both the side and center knobs increase grip and longevity. Built with the advanced MaxxTerra compound and fortified with EXO+ protection, this tubeless-ready folding tyre balances durability, traction, and rolling efficiency for a versatile performance on a range of gravel and trail surfaces.

Perfectly suited for short- to mid-travel trail bikes, the Maxxis Dissector excels as a front tyre on bikes with 130–140mm of travel, pairing seamlessly with faster-rolling rear tyres like the Forekaster or Rekon. For longer travel bikes (150mm+), it serves as a fast and reliable rear tyre in dry conditions. The tyre’s 40 PSI maximum rating and lightweight 1045g folding bead construction make it a reliable companion for riders seeking speed, control, and puncture resistance on demanding rides.

What It’s Good For

• Providing excellent cornering control and stability on hard-packed and loose terrain
• Delivering improved braking traction thanks to the split center knobs and revised sipes
• Optimizing rolling efficiency without sacrificing durability, due to the MaxxTerra compound
• Reducing the risk of flats with EXO+ sidewall protection combining SilkShield and EXO layers
• Enhancing ride comfort and grip by allowing lower air pressures through tubeless-ready technology
• Versatile use on short- to mid-travel trail bikes as a front tyre and longer travel bikes as a rear tyre

What It’s NOT Good For

• Wet or muddy conditions where more aggressive tread patterns are preferred
• Heavy-duty downhill or enduro riding requiring maximum sidewall protection beyond EXO+
• Riders who prefer extremely soft or sticky rubber compounds for technical trails
• Using liquid sealants in tyres other than Tubeless Road, Tubular, or Tubeless Ready may void warranty
