Designed in cooperation with Aussie DH racer Troy Brosnan, the Dissector seeks to minimize drag while retaining cornering control. Maxxis’ 3C MaxxGrip compound uses the stickiest, slowest rebounding rubber they offer in a mountain bike tire. This high traction compound is the same one used by their top World Cup Downhill and Enduro World Series athletes. When used on a trail bike this versatile tire can be used as a front, a pair, or as a rear depending on trail conditions. When used on a downhill bike, we recommend the Dissector as a rear tire paired with a larger-knobbed front tire such as the Assegai or Minion DHF.
