Tire Maxxis Rambler 700x38 EXO Tubeless Ready 120tpi

The MAXXIS Rambler is the most popular gravel tire model. The closely spaced center lugs are ramped to improve rolling on hardpack roads and pavement. The side lugs are spaced further apart, providing better handling in variable conditions. 

The 700x50C size is one of the wider Gravel/Adventure tires. It is also suitable for mountain bikes. A good choice if you are looking for a less knobby fast tire that can be used on asphalt, gravel, and forest trails.

Tubeless Ready

Tubeless ready tires provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tire; and less chance of flatting because there is no tube. Tubeless ready tires are denoted by the letters “TR” on the sidewall.

Tubeless ready tires must be mounted to tubeless compatible rims and require the use of a liquid sealant to maintain pressure. Liquid sealants have the added benefit of sealing small punctures. Be sure to check your sealant regularly and refresh as needed as it will dry out over time.

Threads Per Inch (TPI)

The number of threads that cross through one square inch of a single ply of the tire’s casing. Lower TPI (ex. 60 TPI) gives better puncture, cut and abrasion resistance but is heavier. Higher TPI (ex. 120 TPI) conforms better to the terrain, offering a smoother, more comfortable ride while reducing the weight of the tire. The trade off being higher TPI casings are more fragile compared to lower TPI casings.

CARBON FIBER BEAD 

A flexible material with greater strength to withstand the forces exerted by a high-pressure road tire.

EXO

EXO is a cut- and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of many Maxxis mountain bike and gravel tires. This densely woven fabric is lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tire remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for enhanced durability for gravel, XC, and light-duty trail riding.

DUAL COMPOUND

Two compounds used within the tread of select tires to offer lower rolling resistance and increased cornering grip.
