Maxxis Grifter Tire

While the Grifter is specifically engineered for street, park, and vert riding, its tread pattern is optimized for hard-packed surfaces. It will perform well on groomed dirt jumps, but it lacks the aggressive knobs needed for loose or loamy trails.

The EXO casing adds a layer of cut-resistant material to the sidewalls without significantly increasing the tire's weight. This is crucial for street riding, where scraping against curbs, ledges, and concrete obstacles is common.

Yes, the high-volume casing acts as a bit of extra suspension. It allows you to run slightly lower pressures to absorb the impact of harsh landings and smooth out vibrations from rough pavement.

The dual compound uses a harder rubber in the center for speed and longevity, paired with a softer rubber on the shoulders for better grip during cornering. It gives you the best of both worlds: fast rolling on straights and confidence when carving through turns.

Absolutely. Its fast-rolling tread and durable construction make it an excellent choice for urban commuting, as it handles pavement and potholes efficiently while remaining lightweight.

The Maxxis Grifter features a folding bead, which makes it lighter and easier to transport or store as a spare compared to traditional wire bead tires.
