Maxxis Dissector G2 Folding Tubeless Tyre with MaxxTerra DoubleDown Casing

The Maxxis Dissector G2 29 x 2.4 is a premium tubeless tyre engineered to enhance your mountain biking performance across diverse trail environments. Designed with the advanced MaxxTerra compound and reinforced DoubleDown casing, this tyre delivers an optimal balance of durability, traction, and control. Its innovative side knob design features a larger footprint and refined sipes, significantly improving stability and cornering precision on both hard-packed and loose surfaces. The specialised 2-3-2 centre tread pattern with individual knobs further enhances braking traction and terrain conformity, ensuring confident handling and smooth transitions when negotiating turns.

Compatible with a range of mountain bike setups, the Dissector excels as a front tyre on short- to mid-travel trail bikes (130-140mm travel) when paired with faster-rolling rear tyres such as the Forekaster or Rekon. It also performs reliably as a fast rear tyre on longer travel bikes in dry conditions. The folding bead construction combined with a 2x120 TPI casing offers a lightweight yet robust build, while the tubeless-ready design enables lower air pressures and reduced rolling resistance, minimising flats and maximising grip.

The DoubleDown casing incorporates dual 120 TPI layers and a butyl insert, delivering downhill-level protection in a lighter, more responsive package. This combination ensures riders benefit from both resilience and agility, making the Dissector a versatile and dependable choice for a variety of trail conditions and riding styles.
