Maxxis Reaver

Yes, it is specifically designed for speed on gravel and dirt. The low-profile tread and diamond knurling make it fast on hardpack, while the siped side knobs provide the necessary grip for looser corners.

Absolutely. The Reaver is a tubeless-ready tire, which allows you to run lower pressures for better traction and puncture resistance without the risk of pinch flats.

The EXO protection adds a layer of durability to the sidewalls to prevent cuts and abrasions on rugged terrain. Because it is integrated into a 120 TPI casing, the tire maintains a supple, lightweight feel despite the added reinforcement.

The dual compound uses different rubber densities to balance speed and longevity. You get a harder compound in the center to reduce rolling resistance and extend tread life, with a softer compound on the sides for better cornering grip.

The 700c x 40 size is a standard width for modern gravel bikes, but you should check your frame and fork clearance first. Ensure your bike has enough space to accommodate the tire width plus a little extra room for mud clearance.
