Maxxis High Roller II 29x2.40 WT 3C MaxxGrip EXO+ TR

The Maxxis High Roller II 29x2.40 WT is a tire designed for aggressive mountain riding, where grip and control are the top priority. It is perfectly suited for enduro, trail, and downhill riding for riders who tackle technical terrain and demanding conditions. The soft 3C MaxxGrip rubber compound provides extremely reliable grip on rocks, roots, and wet surfaces, while the EXO+ reinforcement adds extra durability for hard use.

Maxxis High Roller II 29x2.40 WT – grip, construction, and reliability for technical riding

The performance of the High Roller II tire is based on an open and aggressive knob pattern that digs effectively into soft and loose terrain while shedding mud well. The knobs provide clear and predictable grip during braking and cornering, which boosts confidence, especially in steep and technical sections. The 3C MaxxGrip compound is Maxxis' softest option, designed to maximize mechanical grip in challenging conditions when rolling efficiency is not the primary goal.

The EXO+ construction combines lightweight yet effective sidewall protection with an additional reinforced casing, improving the tire's resistance to punctures and cuts without the weight of a heavy DH casing. This makes the tire a reliable choice for aggressive riding, even on e-mountain bikes. Tubeless Ready compatibility allows for riding without an inner tube, enabling the tire to run at lower pressures for better grip and increased riding comfort. The Wide Trail design is optimized for a 30–35 mm inner rim width, ensuring the tire's profile and knob performance remain as intended.
