What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"This tire strikes a great balance between speed and control. I like running it on the rear for fast, flowy trails, but it's just as capable up front if you're charging hard. The 3C MaxxTerra compound grips well on loose terrain, and paired with the EXO casing, it's tough enough for rocky descents while staying lightweight for climbs."Built in collaboration with pro downhill racer Troy Brosnan, the Maxxis Dissector 27. 5 tire is designed for riders who crave speed without sacrificing control. Whether we're tackling dry, hardpack trails or navigating loose and rocky descents, this tire's low rolling resistance and excellent cornering traction keep us steady through it all. Optimized for trail, enduro, and downhill riding, the Dissector features Maxxis' 3C MaxxTerra and MaxxGrip compounds, giving us the grip we need in a variety of conditions. Paired with the durable EXO, EXO, or DoubleDown casings, the Dissector protects against sharp rocks and rough trails while delivering performance worthy of any high-speed adventure.
