Developed in partnership with Aussie DH racer Troy Brosnan, the Dissector tire is a game - changer. It reduces drag significantly while maintaining excellent cornering control. The Maxxis 3C MaxxTerra compound strikes a perfect balance. It's softer than 3C MaxxSpeed, giving you more traction, and it outperforms MaxxGrip with better treadwear and lower rolling resistance. On a trail bike, this adaptable tire can be used at the front, in pairs, or at the rear, depending on the trail. For downhill bikes, pair it as a rear tire with a large - knobbed front tire like the Assegai or Minion DHF.

Using the Dissector tire is straightforward. On a trail bike, you can decide where to place it based on the type of trail. If the trail has lots of sharp turns, it might work well at the front. For more straight - line sections, it can be used at the rear. On a downhill bike, always pair it as a rear tire with a larger - knobbed front tire. As for maintenance, regularly check the tire pressure to ensure optimal performance. Keep an eye on the tread wear, and if it gets too worn, it's time to replace the tire. Also, clean the tire after each ride to remove any dirt or debris that could affect its grip.
