Maxxis Dissector

While it is versatile enough for both, the Dissector is widely favored as a rear tire. Its ramped center knobs provide the rolling efficiency needed for rear-wheel drive, while the aggressive side lugs offer the cornering bite required for technical trails.

This tire features a Wide Trail casing, which is optimized for rims with an internal width between 30mm and 35mm. If your rims fall within this range, you will get the intended tire profile and performance; outside of this range, the shape and handling characteristics may vary.

No, this is a tubeless-ready tire. You can set it up without a tube using sealant, which allows you to run lower tire pressures for better grip and significantly reduces the risk of pinch flats.

The EXO+ casing is a significant upgrade over standard sidewall protection, combining durable materials to resist cuts and abrasions from trail debris. While it is robust enough for aggressive trail riding, it remains supple enough to maintain the tire's responsive feel.

The Dissector excels in loose-over-hardpack and mixed trail conditions. The ample spacing between the lugs allows it to clear mud and debris effectively, while the 3C MaxxTerra rubber compound provides a balanced grip that performs well across a variety of temperatures and trail surfaces.
