Pace

FORCE XC COMPETITION LINE

Thanks to GUM-X3D technology which is a combination of three special rubbers: an outer traction compound, a Race Compound base layer and a special side grip compound

Low profile tread for XC or dirt jumping

The most agile cross-country tire for a competition use

The Maxxis Pace uses small, tightly spaced knobs to create a tire with low rolling resistance. Originally intended for XC use, the Pace has proven to work well for slopestyle, pump track, and dirt jumping.

EXO An extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of select mountain tires. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tire remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for exceptionally rocky, treacherous trails where the chance of sidewall cuts and abrasions is high.
Tubeless Ready Tubeless tires provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tire; and less chance of flatting because there is no tube. Liquid sealants should only be used in the following types of tires: tubeless road, tubular, and tubeless ready. The use of liquid sealants in any other Maxxis tire will void the warranty.
