E50 certification for e-bike use:

• All tyres in the E50 E-MTB range pass EU regulation – ECE-R75 certificate. ECE-R75 is a certification given to tyres that pass stringent safety regulations governed by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe. Due to the increased load, torque and speed of e-bikes, they are classified under the ECE as mopeds in Europe which are governed at 50 km/h and must pass more stringent guidelines than standard bicycle tyres.

3C MaxxTerra:

• Maxxis’ 3C MaxxTerra is an intermediate triple compound configuration used across our mountain tire line. The 3C MaxxTerra compound offers more traction than 3C MaxxSpeed, yet provides better tread wear and less rolling resistance than MaxxGrip, which makes it ideal for trail riding in all conditions.

Downhill (DH) Casing:

• Two layers of casing material are used from bead to bead. Providing additional protection and sidewall stiffness specifically for downhill applications.

Tubeless Ready:

• Tubeless tyre provide the rider with many benefits. The ability to run lower air pressures, which generally improves traction. Lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tyre and less chance of flatting because there is no tube. Liquid sealants should only be used in the following types of tyre: tubeless road, tubular, and tubeless ready.

Wide Trail:

• Wide Trail (WT) construction optimises the tyre’s tread layout and profile on today’s modern, wider rims. Traditional tyres are designed around older, narrower rims and can create an overly square tyre profile, leading to less than optimal performance. WT tyres are optimised for a 35mm inner rim width but are proven to work over a range from 30-35mm inner rim widths, depending on the rider’s preference.
