Maxxis High Roller 3 27.5x2.40 Tubeless Folding Tyre 3C MaxxGrip DoubleDown Downhill

The Maxxis High Roller 3 27.5x2.40 120x2 TPI 3C MaxxGrip DoubleDown Folding Tubeless Tyre is engineered to excel in demanding downhill environments, offering a perfect balance between aggressive traction and reliable cornering control. Positioned strategically between the Assegai and the Shorty in Maxxis's gravity range, this third-generation High Roller tire combines an open center tread pattern with robust, well-supported side knobs that are specifically designed to endure extreme cornering forces. Whether you're navigating loose or hard terrain, this tyre provides consistent performance across a variety of conditions.

Featuring a hybrid tread design, the High Roller III delivers the soil penetration benefits of a wet-weather mid-spike while maintaining the cornering precision and hard surface traction typical of dry-condition tyres. Its advanced 3C MaxxGrip compound uses the softest rubber blends for exceptional grip and slow rebound, ensuring unparalleled traction especially suited for downhill racing. Additionally, the DoubleDown casing offers enhanced protection and support with two 120 TPI layers reinforced by a butyl insert, providing downhill-level durability in a lighter package.

Designed with Wide Trail (WT) technology, this tyre optimizes tread layout and profile for modern, wider rims (35mm inner rim width recommended), improving overall handling and ride quality. The folding bead design and tubeless ready feature allow riders to benefit from lower air pressures to increase traction, reduce rolling resistance, and minimize the risk of flats. This tyre is a proven winner on the demanding trails of Mont Sainte Anne, trusted by professional racers like Jackson Goldstone, and is built to help you shred any line with confidence and control.
