This version is tubeless ready, allowing you to mount the tyre with a tube or tubeless setup. This tyre performs even faster and has greater grip when running tubeless due to lower pressures being possible. Tubeless Ready Tubeless tyres provide many benefits: they offer the ability to run lower air pressures, which dramatically improves traction; it provides a lower rolling resistance compared to when using tubes and a drastic reduction in the change of getting a flat tyre since there is no tube.  MAXX SPEED A significant advantage when used in cross country and enduro tyres, the two outer layers of the compound are designed primarily to reduce rolling resistance and optimize treadwear, grip and traction. EXO Protection Maxxis EXO tyres feature an exceptional cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the tyre sidewalls. This densely woven fabric is very lightweight and is very flexible, which guarantees that the performance of the tyre is unaffected. The EXO Protection is a superb choice for rocky, aggressive and technical trails where the chance of sidewall cuts is high.
