Maxxis Dissector

It is highly versatile and works well in both positions. Many riders prefer it as a rear tire for its fast-rolling speed, but its cornering grip is strong enough to run it as a front tire on dry, hard-packed trails.

The Dissector features a Wide Trail casing, which is specifically optimized for modern rims with an inner width between 30mm and 35mm. Using it on rims within this range ensures the tire profile is supported correctly for optimal cornering.

The DoubleDown casing adds significant sidewall reinforcement, making the tire stiffer and more puncture-resistant than standard trail casings. While this adds a bit of weight, it provides the stability and durability needed for aggressive downhill riding and rocky terrain.

Yes, this tire is tubeless ready. Running it tubeless allows you to lower your tire pressure for better traction and ride quality while significantly reducing the risk of pinch flats.

The 3C Maxx Grip compound is designed for maximum traction, which makes it excellent for technical descents but slightly slower rolling and faster wearing than harder compounds. If you prioritize grip over long-term tread life, it is a great choice, but expect to replace it sooner than a harder-compound tire.
