Maxxis Rambler 700x40 – EXO / TR / 120TPI Gravel Tire

The King of Gravel: Speed, Control, and Versatility

The Maxxis Rambler is Maxxis' first true gravel-specific tire, and it has quickly become the most popular. Designed with the perfect 40mm width, it offers the volume needed for comfort on gravel roads and the speed required for paved sections. The tightly packed center knobs ensure excellent rolling efficiency, while the more pronounced side knobs provide predictable cornering grip on loose terrain.

Why is it the Graveler's Favorite?

The combination of a high-density 120TPI casing and EXO protection makes it incredibly supple to ride while remaining extremely resistant to sidewall cuts caused by sharp rocks.

Technical Deep-Dive: Uncompromised Performance

• 120TPI Casing: A lighter, more flexible structure that adapts better to terrain irregularities, increasing comfort and reducing rolling resistance.

• EXO Protection: An added material on the sidewalls that is extremely cut and abrasion-resistant—essential for challenging gravel routes.

• Tubeless Ready (TR): Designed to be used without an inner tube, allowing for lower pressures for superior grip and total protection against pinch flats.

• Dual Compound: Two different rubber compounds to optimize longevity in the center and grip on the sides.

Technical Specifications

Usage Guide & Terrain

• Ideal Terrain: Hardpack, gravel, asphalt, dry trails.

• Recommended Pressure: Thanks to TR technology, it can be used at variable pressures (typically between 2.5 and 4.0 bar depending on rider weight and terrain) to maximize comfort.

• Assembly: We recommend using high-quality tire sealant (e.g., Finish Line or Stan's NoTubes) to ensure maximum airtightness.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I mount it on rims with 21mm or 23mm internal width?

  Absolutely. The 40mm section fits perfectly with modern gravel rims featuring 21-25mm internal channels.

• Is it suitable for loaded bikepacking?

  Yes. The EXO sidewall protection is crucial when traveling with extra weight to prevent structural damage on rough terrain.

• What is the average lifespan of a Maxxis Rambler?

  Thanks to the dual compound, it offers a great balance between durability and grip. On average, a rear tire covers between 2,500 and 4,000 km depending on the percentage of asphalt ridden.
