3C MaxxTerra Compound
An intermediate compound configuration that is softer and offers more traction, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance.

MaxxTerra V2 Compound (2026 update)
MaxxTerra V2 promises increased durability, a 30% longer lifespan, 15% more traction, and no loss in rolling efficiency. The Gen 2 MaxxTerra will be introduced gradually across the entire Maxxis trail tire range. MaxxTerra V2 is still a triple-compound rubber construction. Recognizing it in the wild, the "3C" designation will be dropped, leaving just a MaxxTerra on the sidewall.

3C MaxxGrip Compound
Uses the softest rubber compounds to offer more grip and slow rebound properties for improved traction in downhill applications.

EXO Casing
A cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls. This densely woven fabric is lightweight and flexible, ensuring that tire performance is unaffected. Good for rocky trails where there's the chance of sidewall cuts and abrasion is high.

EXO+ Casing (pre-2022)
120 TPI; combines SilkShield and EXO protection materials for improved tread puncture protection. The SilkShield layer runs from bead-to-bead with a layer of EXO along the sidewalls.

EXO+ Casing (2022 update)
60 TPI; with butyl insert around the bead, for more protection and support (50% more puncture resistant and up to 20% less prone to snakebites compared to the previous generation).

Double Down (DD) Casing
The next step in the evolution of the dual-ply tire casing for enduro racing. Two 120 TPI casing layers reinforced with a butyl insert provide the support and protection of a downhill tire but in a lighter package.

DH Casing with Butyl Insert Protection
An extra piece of butyl rubber that extends from the bead of a downhill tire up into the sidewall helping prevent pinch flats, protects the rim from hard hits, and adds sidewall stability.

Wide trail (WT) Construction
Optimizes the tire tread layout and profile on wider rims (30-35mm inner widths).
*After 2025, Maxxis will discontinue the Wide Trail (WT) labeling on their tires. Originally introduced to identify tires built for wider rims, the WT label is being retired because every current 2.4" and 2.5" tire is already engineered for wide rims, making the extra branding redundant.
