Maxxis Grifter Tire

While the Grifter is optimized for street, park, and vert riding, its fast-rolling tread and high-volume casing perform well on hard-packed dirt jumps. However, it lacks the aggressive knobs needed for loose or loamy terrain.

The EXO protection adds a layer of cut and abrasion resistance to the sidewalls without significantly compromising the tire's weight. At 452g, it remains a lightweight option that balances durability with the responsive handling required for BMX maneuvers.

Yes, the high-volume casing is designed to absorb impacts, making it comfortable even if you prefer running slightly lower pressures. Just ensure you stay within a range that prevents pinch flats, especially if you are riding aggressive street lines.

The dual compound uses a harder rubber in the center for speed and longevity, while a softer compound on the shoulders provides extra grip during cornering. This combination gives you the best of both worlds: efficiency on straightaways and confidence during technical maneuvers.

The Maxxis Grifter features a folding bead, which makes it lighter and easier to transport or store than a traditional wire bead tire. It is designed to be used as a clincher.
