The perfect trail ride companion - not stingy on grip, ideal for full-suspension trail bikes.The snappy central knobs and grippy outer knobs means it offers maximum grip.

As the original urban assault tire, the Maxxis Hookworm is no stranger to the mean streets. The bead-to-bead tread design provides durability and traction in harsh environments. The Hookworm is also a great solution for cargo bikes, pedicabs, or any application where a tough tire is needed.

Suitable for E-Bikes
For our E-Bike tyre we fall back on over 100 years’ experience with moped and motorcycle tires. All of our city/trekking tires are rated to a standard speed of at least 25 km/h. Those tires marked e50 are also certified for S-Pedelecs. With their high quality structure, puncture protection is high and the rolling resistance is low offering protection from premature wear brought about by the additional driving force.
