Maxxis Dissector G2 29 X 2.40 Exo TR E-25 Tyre

The Maxxis Dissector returns, completely revised, refined and more versatile than ever, with a host of upgrades that improve performance across the board. Most notably, the side knobs have been completely redesigned with a larger footprint and reworked sipes, boosting stability and predictability in corners-especially on hard terrain.

The new shape resists deflection under load, increasing both durability and control. Side knob engagement is also quicker, giving riders a more confident, planted feel in turns. The center tread retains the familiar 2-3-2 layout, but the center '3' has been split into individual knobs for improved braking traction and better terrain conformity. Transition knobs have been pushed outward, creating a smoother, more consistent feel as the tire leans over.

Like the side knobs, the center tread also benefits from revised sipes for enhanced grip and longevity. These updates make the Dissector an even more versatile option for short- to mid-travel trail bikes. It excels as a front tire on bikes with 130-140mm of travel, especially when paired with a fast-rolling rear like the Forekaster or Rekon. On longer travel bikes (150mm+), it serves as a fast, confident rear tire in dry conditions.

In close cooperation with downhill pro Troy Brosnan, a tire was developed that combines high speed with precise cornering and reliable braking control. The basis for this is formed by the proven Rekon, Minion DHF and HighRoller II profiles, whose properties have been combined in a high-performance all-round tire for demanding, technical terrain. The completely redesigned side lugs of the Dissector [Gen.2] offer a larger contact area and finer sipes, which noticeably improves cornering grip, especially on hard, rocky or rooty terrain. They provide more stability, faster ground contact and a safer riding experience. The center of the tread remains in the proven 2-3-2 arrangement, with the middle lugs now split to increase braking power and better adapt to the ground. Transition lugs have been moved further outwards to make the steering behavior more consistent. The Dissector is ideal as a rear tire for downhill or bike park use and also impresses in the trail version at the front, especially on bikes with 120 to 140 millimetres of suspension travel.

Wide Trail Casing (WT)
This special carcass construction optimizes the tread layout and tire shape on today's wider rims. Traditional tires are developed for narrow rims and have too angular a shape on wide rims, resulting in less than optimal performance.
WT tires are optimized for an inner rim width of 35 mm, but work excellently on all rims with an inner dimension between 30 and 39 mm.

Tubeless Ready (TR)
Tubeless tires have many advantages: You can ride with less air pressure. This gives you better traction and reduces rolling resistance. And where there is no inner tube, the risk of punctures is also reduced. MAXXIS TR tires are better prepared for mounting with sealing milk than other "tubeless ready" tires. The bead of our TR tires is completely covered with a layer of rubber, just like a real UST tubeless tire. This means that tubeless mounting is successful on all rims with standard dimensions right from the first inflation and with little liquid. Like tires from other manufacturers, "normal" MAXXIS MTB tires can also be mounted tubeless with sealant, as the carcass fabric is very tight. However, only the new MAXXIS TR models are officially approved for tubeless mounting and guaranteed by MAXXIS. Tubeless mounting of other models is at your own risk.

EXO sidewall protection
This extremely cut- and abrasion-resistant material protects the sidewall of various MTB tires. It is very densely woven, lightweight and very flexible. As a result, the performance of the tires remains convincingly good.

Dual Compound
Two different rubber compounds are processed into one tread strip. Maxxis plans the arrangement of the compounds according to the desired properties of the tires.
