Description

Maxxis Ravager 700x40 – EXO / TR / 60TPI / Tanwall Gravel Tire

Dominate the Tech: Extreme Grip Meets Iconic Style

If your definition of Gravel includes rough trails, mud, and technical descents, the Maxxis Ravager is your definitive choice. Designed with a significantly more aggressive tread pattern than the Rambler, the Ravager features raised, squared-off center knobs for optimal braking and climbing traction, paired with large side knobs derived from mountain bike technology for unprecedented cornering grip.

Why Choose the Ravager?

This is the tire for those who want no limits. The Tanwall version (classic tan/para sidewall) adds a touch of retro elegance to your bike, making it stand out from the crowd, while the 60TPI casing provides superior puncture resistance on the most rugged terrains.

Technical Highlights: Born for Adventure

• Oversized Tread: The massive side lugs offer total confidence on loose and muddy ground where standard gravel tires tend to slide.

• EXO Protection: An added layer of material on the sidewalls to prevent cuts and abrasions—essential when tackling trails with loose, sharp rocks.

• Tubeless Ready (TR): Standard technology to eliminate inner tubes, save weight, and ride at lower pressures to maximize your contact patch and grip.

• Tanwall Aesthetics: The tan sidewall is not just an aesthetic choice, but a badge of honor for those who love adventure with style.

Usage Guide & Terrain

• Ideal Terrain: Mud, loose gravel, forest floor, technical trails, coarse gravel.

• Pro Tip: This makes an excellent front tire paired with a Maxxis Rambler in the rear for the perfect mix of cornering grip and rolling speed.

• Pressure: Thanks to the 60TPI structure, the Ravager maintains excellent stability even at medium-low pressures, ideal for "floating" over loose dirt.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

• Is it much slower than a slick tire on asphalt?

  The center knobs are closely spaced to keep rolling resistance manageable, but this tire clearly favors off-road performance over pure road speed.

• Is the Tanwall sidewall more delicate than the black sidewall?

  No, EXO protection is present on both models. The difference is purely aesthetic; structural durability remains at the top of its class.

• Can I use it for Cyclocross?

  Yes, many riders choose it for training or amateur CX races when the mud isn't excessively deep and a larger air volume is desired.
