Maxxis Highroller III Folding Tire

While this tire is specifically engineered for downhill racing and aggressive gravity riding, its 2-ply casing makes it quite heavy for standard trail bikes. If you are looking for a tire for long-distance trail riding, you might find the weight penalty significant compared to lighter, single-ply options.

The hybrid tread is designed for mixed conditions, meaning it performs reliably on everything from loose, loamy dirt to hard-packed trails. It bridges the gap between mud-specific tires and fast-rolling dry tires, making it a strong choice if you encounter varied terrain on a single ride.

Yes, the 3C MaxxGrip compound is Maxxis's softest rubber, prioritized for maximum traction and slow rebound. While it offers incredible grip on technical descents, it will wear down faster than harder compounds designed for longevity.

Yes, the Highroller III is tubeless-ready. Running it tubeless is highly recommended, as it allows you to utilize lower tire pressures for better cornering grip and reduced rolling resistance without the risk of pinch flats.

The 2-ply casing is built for durability and sidewall support, which provides a very stable, predictable feel when cornering hard. It is stiffer than a standard trail casing, which helps prevent tire squirm and protects against punctures on sharp, rocky terrain.
