Maxxis High Roller 3 27.5x2.40 Folding Tubeless MTB Tire 3C MaxxGrip EXO+

The Maxxis High Roller 3 27.5x2.40 combines cutting-edge design and advanced technology to deliver exceptional performance on demanding mountain bike trails. Positioned between the Assegai and Shorty in Maxxis’ gravity range, this third-generation tire features an open center tread pattern paired with large, well-supported side knobs that excel in handling extreme cornering forces. Its hybrid tread design offers the soil penetration benefits of a wet-weather mid-spike tire while maintaining the cornering control and traction necessary for dry conditions, making it a versatile choice for riders facing varied terrain.

Crafted with the 3C MaxxGrip compound, the High Roller 3 ensures superior grip and slow rebound properties, which translate into unparalleled traction on downhill runs. The addition of EXO+ construction enhances durability by combining SilkShield and EXO layers, offering increased protection against punctures, sidewall damage, and pinch flats. This folding tubeless tire is optimized for modern wider rims with Wide Trail technology, ensuring an ideal tread layout and profile that maximizes performance without compromising ride quality.

The tubeless ready design provides multiple advantages, including the ability to run lower air pressures for improved traction, reduced rolling resistance, and a significantly lower risk of flats. Proven in professional competition, including a win at Mont Sainte Anne with Jackson Goldstone, the Maxxis High Roller 3 is engineered to meet the demands of modern downhill riding while delivering confidence and control on every trail.

What It’s Good For

• Providing exceptional traction and control on loose, hard, medium, and wet terrain
