Maxxis High Roller Downhill Folding Tire 27.5 x 2.40 120x2 TPI 3C MaxxGrip Tubeless Ready

The Maxxis High Roller Downhill 27.5 x 2.40 is expertly engineered to deliver exceptional performance on the most demanding downhill trails. Positioned between the Assegai and Shorty models in Maxxis's gravity lineup, this third-generation High Roller combines an open center tread pattern with large, well-supported side knobs designed to resist extreme cornering forces. Its hybrid tread design offers the penetration benefits of a wet-weather mid-spike while maintaining the cornering control and traction needed for dry conditions.

Built with the latest technologies, including the 3C MaxxGrip compound and a new DH casing, this tyre provides unmatched grip and durability. The 3C MaxxGrip compound uses the softest rubber to maximize traction and slow rebound, which is critical for downhill riders tackling technical sections. The new DH casing enhances compliance over rough terrain, offers better support under heavy cornering loads, and improves puncture resistance. This means riders can confidently push their limits with less risk of flats or rim damage, enabling longer, more aggressive rides.

Additionally, the High Roller Downhill tyre is tubeless ready, allowing you to run lower air pressures for superior traction and reduced rolling resistance. This tubeless setup minimizes the chance of flats, making it an excellent choice for riders seeking reliability and performance. Whether you're bombing through gnarly descents or managing tricky technical features, this tyre is designed to keep you in control and maximize your downhill experience.

What It’s Good For
