Maxxis Griffin DH tyre


We first saw a prototype of this tyre on the rear wheel of Jared Graves’s Yeti at last year’s Enduro World Series finals, where he clinched the overall title.

Available for 26in and 650b wheels, and with a full-fat dual-ply DH casing and 2.4in width, it’s aimed squarely at the gravity market and designed as a fast-rolling dry weather option. The relatively low and highly ramped centre tread is designed to minimise rolling resistance, while alternating shoulder tread blocks should provide a predictable cornering feel. It’s available in two compounds – Super Tacky and 3C Maxx Grip.

Price 72$ (27.5x2.4in, Super Tacky)
