Are you looking for an all-round racing tire that rolls exceptionally well, is very lightweight, and provides grip in almost all situations? The Aspen is Maxxis's answer to this requirement profile. In the center of the tread, narrow, slightly inclined siped ribs alternate with small, angled block ribs. This design redefines the ideal combination of high traction and low rolling resistance. In the direction of travel, the side tunnels are arranged in pairs from the outside in. This special arrangement offers significantly more grip during cornering. Despite the continuous tread depth of over 3 mm and excellent puncture protection with the Silkworm Polyfiber Shield, the Aspen weighs only 460 g. Combined with the eXCeption casing featuring 120 TPI and our exceptional eXCeption rubber compound, the Aspen becomes the ultimate XC racing tire. The Aspen impresses with enhanced performance in handling, traction, and grip, far surpassing that of competing models.
