Are you looking for an all-round racing tire that rolls exceptionally well, is very lightweight, but also offers grip in almost all situations? The Aspen is Maxxis' answer to this requirement. In the center of the tread, closely spaced, slightly angled siped lugs alternate with small, beveled block lugs. This design redefines the ideal combination of high traction and low rolling resistance. The side lugs are arranged in pairs from the outside to the inside in the direction of travel. This special arrangement provides significantly more grip in corners. The Aspen impresses with outstanding performance in handling, traction, and grip, far exceeding that of competing models.

Exo Protection: This extremely cut- and abrasion-resistant material protects the sidewalls of various MTB tires. It is tightly woven, lightweight, and very flexible. As a result, the tire performance remains consistently impressive.

Wide Trail Casing: The Wide Trail (WT) construction optimizes the tread layout and tire shape for today's modern wider rims. Traditional tires are designed for narrow rims and take on a too-angular shape on wide rims, resulting in less than optimal performance. WT tires are optimized for an inner rim width of 35 mm but perform excellently on all rims with an inner measurement between 30 and 39 mm. The following MTB tire widths are available in WT construction: 2.40WT, 2.50WT, 2.60WT. Wider tires generally have a WT construction but do not carry a WT designation on the tire sidewall.

Dual Compound: Two different rubber compounds are processed into a tread strip. Maxxis arranges the compounds according to the desired characteristics of the tires.
