Maxxis Aggressor Tires

While it can be used on both, the Aggressor is most commonly used as a rear tire. Its fast-rolling center tread pairs well with a more aggressive, grippy front tire like the Maxxis Assegai or Minion DHF to balance speed and cornering traction.

This tire is optimized for modern, wider rims with an internal width between 30mm and 35mm. If your rims fall outside this range, you may experience a less-than-ideal tire profile, which can affect cornering stability.

At 1185g, it is heavier than a standard trail tire, but it offers significantly more sidewall protection and support. If you ride rocky, technical terrain or frequently suffer from sidewall cuts, the extra weight is a worthwhile trade-off for the added durability.

Yes, the Aggressor is tubeless-ready. It is designed to be used with sealant, which helps prevent punctures and allows you to run lower tire pressures for better grip without the risk of pinch flats.

The dual compound uses a harder rubber in the center for longevity and rolling efficiency, paired with a softer rubber on the side knobs for better grip in corners. This combination gives you a faster-rolling tire that still holds its line when you lean the bike over.

While it is fast enough for some cross-country applications, it is built more for enduro and all-mountain riding. If you are racing on smoother, hard-packed XC courses, you might find this tire slightly overbuilt and heavier than necessary.
