Maxxis High Roller 3 29x2.40 Tubeless Folding Tyre 60 TPI 3C MaxxGrip EXO+ Downhill

The Maxxis High Roller 3 29x2.40 60 TPI 3C MaxxGrip EXO+ Folding Tubeless Tyre is engineered to deliver exceptional performance in demanding downhill conditions. Positioned perfectly between the aggressive Assegai and the versatile Shorty, this third-generation High Roller combines the best of both worlds with an open center tread pattern and large, well-supported side knobs that excel at handling extreme cornering forces. Its hybrid tread design ensures optimal soil penetration in wet weather while maintaining excellent cornering control and traction on hard surfaces.

Designed with input from professional riders and proven in competitive settings like Mont Sainte Anne, where it secured a win for Jackson Goldstone, this tyre is built to meet the rigorous demands of modern downhill biking. Featuring the advanced 3C MaxxGrip compound, the High Roller 3 offers unmatched grip with its soft rubber formula, providing slow rebound properties that enhance traction and control. Its EXO+ construction integrates SilkShield and EXO layers for superior puncture resistance and sidewall durability, making it a reliable choice for challenging terrains.

Optimized for wider rims through Wide Trail technology, the High Roller 3 maintains an ideal tread profile for 30-35mm inner rim widths, ensuring balanced performance and comfort. As a tubeless-ready tyre, it allows for lower air pressures to maximize grip and reduce rolling resistance, while minimizing the risk of flats. Whether tackling loose, hard, medium, or wet surfaces, this folding tyre combines durability, control, and efficiency for riders who demand the best.
