Semi-slick gravel tire

With its single minded design, the six day hero of the wooden boards

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.

Extremely light and fast handling tire – made for endurance racing on the wooden boards. A special slick profile for the highest speeds puts this tire into a class of its own in our track racing range.

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.
