Maxxis Reaver

The Reaver is designed primarily for loose, dusty, and hard-packed gravel. Because it features a semi-slick tread pattern, it lacks the deep lugs required to clear thick mud effectively, so it is best reserved for dry or mixed-terrain riding.

No, this tire is tubeless-ready. While you can use it with an inner tube, running it tubeless is recommended to take full advantage of the lower pressures and puncture resistance it offers.

The EXO casing is specifically engineered to provide robust protection against sidewall cuts and abrasions. It offers a reliable balance of durability and weight, making it well-suited for the unpredictable surfaces found on typical gravel courses.

The Maxxis Reaver is a 700c tire (often referred to as 29 inches in mountain bike sizing) with a 45mm width. Before purchasing, ensure your bike frame and fork have sufficient clearance to accommodate a 45mm wide tire, as this is wider than standard road tires.

The HYPR-X compound is formulated to provide a balance between rolling efficiency and grip. It helps the tire feel fast on hard surfaces while maintaining enough tackiness to ensure predictable traction when you lean into corners.
