Maxxis Re-Fuse Gen 2

Yes, the full-silica rubber compound is specifically formulated to provide better grip in wet conditions compared to standard compounds, making it a reliable choice for year-round commuting.

Yes, this specific version is a tube-type tire, meaning it is designed to be used with a standard bicycle inner tube rather than a tubeless setup.

While the bead-to-bead MaxxShield layer adds significant durability against punctures, the 60 TPI casing keeps the tire supple enough to maintain a smooth, efficient ride quality without feeling overly stiff.

While primarily designed for pavement, the slick center tread rolls fast on smooth surfaces, and the micro knobs on the shoulders offer enough cornering stability to handle occasional, well-packed dirt or gravel paths.

The Gen 2 features a revised tread pattern and an updated rubber compound, resulting in a tire that is lighter and faster than its predecessor while maintaining the same high level of puncture protection.
