Maxxis Aggressor Tire

The Aggressor is widely considered a rear-specific tire. Its dual compound and knob design are optimized to balance rolling efficiency with the traction needed for climbing and braking, making it an excellent partner for a more aggressive, grippy front tire like the Maxxis Assegai or Minion DHF.

DoubleDown (DD) is a reinforced casing designed to withstand the abuse of enduro and all-mountain riding. It provides significantly more sidewall protection and stability than a standard trail casing, which helps prevent cuts and pinch flats when you are pushing hard through rock gardens or high-speed corners.

This specific version is a 'Wide Trail' (WT) tire, which is optimized for rims with an internal width of 30mm to 35mm. If your rims are significantly narrower than 30mm, the tire profile may become too rounded, which can negatively affect cornering stability and grip.

Yes, this is a Tubeless Ready tire. When paired with a tubeless-compatible rim, sealant, and valve, you can run lower tire pressures for better traction and puncture resistance without the risk of pinch flats.

The 120 TPI (threads per inch) casing provides a more supple ride quality compared to lower thread counts. This allows the tire to conform better to trail obstacles, improving grip and comfort, while still maintaining the durability required for aggressive riding.

While the Aggressor is fast-rolling, it is built with a heavy-duty casing that prioritizes durability over weight savings. If you are strictly racing cross-country, you might find this tire heavier than dedicated XC race tires, but it is a great choice if your local race courses are particularly rocky or technical.
