Both manufactured by different brands, Maxxis and Michelin respectively, these tyres have been designed to be used for different purposes.

Receptor

DH34

Semi-slick gravel tire

The fastest tire in the Michelin Downhill range

The Maxxis Receptor is a semi-slick gravel tire designed for riding on pavement, hard-packed dirt roads, and light gravel. With its low profile center tread, the Receptor rolls easily no matter the surface. Small side knobs provide cornering traction in loose over hard terrain.

Its DH 34 tread pattern, Magi-X DH tread compound and Down Hill Shield casing provide maximum grip and high-speed stability on all hard terrain (compacted dirt / pebbles / Bike Park). Thanks to its double-reinforced Down Hill Shield casing and puncture-resistant reinforcement, which gives you maximum control at low pressure.

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.
