The roads of Flanders, Roubaix and San Remo are home to this tough tubular.Durable and puncture protected carcass, ready for hundreds of kilometres, even on bad roads.

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.

Features

DuraSkin
To roll with the punches
Tires with DuraSkin® sidewall protection have to be able to roll with the punches. They are used under the harshest conditions. On messenger bikes, the tires skid along curbs; on touring bikes, they cross continents without wearing out. In racing cycling, they have to endure tough tests such as the Paris-Roubaix. The high-quality polyamide fabric protects the tire casing against the worst conditions. These tires stand out thanks to their brown sidewalls.
SafetySystem Breaker
Puncture protection with a system
The SafetySystem Breaker is made up of Kevlarreinforced, high-strength nylon fabric. Puncture and cut-resistant but nevertheless light and flexible, the tire adjusts quickly to the surface below. Without raising the weight or rolling resistance noticeably, it protects the carcass against foreign objects and contributes to a longer lifespan of the tire. Tires with the SafetySystem Breaker also provide good comfort properties.
