Maxxis Torch Tire

No, the Maxxis Torch is designed specifically for paved tracks and hard-packed surfaces. Its fast-rolling tread pattern lacks the aggressive knobs required for loose dirt, mud, or technical trail riding.

While some versions of the Maxxis Torch are Tubeless Ready (TR), this specific model features a standard folding bead. Please check the sidewall markings on your specific tire to confirm if it is designated as Tubeless Ready before attempting a tubeless conversion.

Silkworm is a protective layer integrated into the casing that improves puncture and tear resistance. It adds a necessary layer of durability for urban riding without significantly increasing the tire's weight or compromising its rolling speed.

The Torch is designed to perform well on both the front and rear. Because it is a 29-inch tire with a consistent tread pattern, you can use it on either wheel or as a matching set for a fast, predictable ride.

This tire has a maximum recommended pressure of 65 PSI. We suggest experimenting with pressure within this range to balance rolling efficiency on smooth pavement against comfort on rougher city streets.
