Maxxis High Road

While it is an elite-level racing tire, the High Road is durable enough for daily training. Its puncture protection layer and silica compound are designed to balance speed with the reliability needed for regular, high-mileage riding.

The ZK layer is designed to be lightweight and flexible, meaning it provides flat defense without making the tire feel stiff or harsh. You get the protection you need while maintaining the supple, responsive ride quality expected from a high-performance racing tire.

The HYPR-S compound is engineered for versatility on paved surfaces. It excels on dry roads but is formulated to maintain grip in wet conditions as well, thanks to the full silica content that keeps the tire planted during cornering.

The 700x32 size is a modern standard, but you should verify your bike frame and rim clearance before purchasing. Check your frame manufacturer's specifications to ensure your bike can accommodate a 32mm width, especially if you have an older rim brake model.

These design elements are specifically there to improve cornering traction. When you lean the bike into a turn, the micro-knurling engages with the road surface to provide extra grip, giving you more confidence when cornering at speed.
