Maxxis Dissector G2 Tubeless Folding MTB Tyre 3C MaxxGrip DoubleDown

The Maxxis Dissector G2 29 X 2.4 represents a significant advancement in mountain bike tyre technology, meticulously engineered to enhance your trail performance with superior grip and precise control. Its innovative design incorporates a redesigned side knob layout featuring a larger footprint and refined sipes, delivering exceptional stability and predictability when cornering on hard terrain. This tyre’s enhanced shape effectively resists deflection under load, resulting in improved durability and a more confident riding experience. Quick side knob engagement ensures a planted feel in turns, facilitating better handling on technical descents and sharp bends.

Maintaining the trusted 2-3-2 centre tread pattern, the Dissector G2 introduces individual knobs in the centre three, significantly improving braking traction and terrain conformity. Transition knobs are strategically pushed outward to provide smooth and consistent leaning, while updated sipes across the tread enhance grip and extend tyre longevity. This combination makes the Dissector G2 an excellent choice for riders seeking a reliable front tyre suitable for short to mid-travel trail bikes, particularly those with 130mm to 140mm of suspension travel. When paired with fast-rolling rear tyres such as the Maxxis Forekaster or Rekon, it achieves a balanced synergy of speed and control. For longer travel bikes exceeding 150mm, it performs exceptionally as a fast, confident rear tyre in dry conditions.

Equipped with the advanced 3C MaxxGrip compound, the tyre offers unmatched traction through its softest rubber layers and slow rebound characteristics, ideal for demanding downhill riding. The DoubleDown casing provides robust dual-ply protection reinforced with butyl, combining the toughness required for downhill use with a weight profile suitable for enduro racing. Designed with a Wide Trail profile, the tyre is optimised for modern wider rims with 30-35mm inner widths, ensuring an ideal tyre shape and maximising performance on contemporary mountain bikes. Additionally, its tubeless-ready construction allows riders to run lower air pressures, enhancing traction and reducing rolling resistance while minimising the risk of punctures.
