Maxxis High Road Gen 3 700x28c Tubeless Ready HYPR 150 TPI Tire

The Maxxis High Road Gen 3 700x28c Tubeless Ready road tire is the ultimate evolution in competition road rubber. Featuring a superlight 150 TPI casing, ultra-low rolling resistance HYPR Compound, and K2 (Kevlar Composite) puncture protection, it delivers maximum wet-weather grip and cornering confidence in a modern, smooth-rolling 28 mm profile.

Designed for racing and high-intensity training, the third-generation (Gen 3) Maxxis High Road refines Maxxis' flagship road tire formula. The modern 700x28c (28-622) size offers the perfect balance of aerodynamics, contact patch efficiency, and road vibration damping.

Key Features

• HYPR Compound: Formulated using full-silica technology, reducing rolling resistance by 16% and increasing wet-surface traction by 23% compared to previous road compounds.

• 150 TPI Casing: A supple, lightweight casing structure that conforms effortlessly to road imperfections, delivering exceptional ride comfort and responsiveness.

• K2 Protection (Kevlar Composite): A breaker layer positioned under the tread providing superior puncture and cut resistance over standard Aramid while keeping overall weight minimal.

• Tubeless Ready (TR): Allows for tubeless setups, enabling lower tire pressures, reduced pinch-flat risks, and improved overall ride quality.

Usage & Fitting Recommendations

• Tire Pressure: For a 28 mm Tubeless Ready setup, avoid over-inflating. Slightly lower pressures maximize the benefits of the 150 TPI casing, offering enhanced cornering traction and endurance comfort.

• Tubeless Setup: Use high-quality tubeless tape and valves. Pour approximately 30–40 ml of sealant per wheel to ensure a reliable air seal and optimal puncture protection.

• Rim Compatibility: Check the maximum pressure guidelines provided by your wheel manufacturer for both hooked and hookless rim profiles.

• Maintenance: Check and top up tire sealant every 3–4 months. Periodically inspect the tread for small road debris before it can penetrate the casing.

Structured FAQ Data (Schema.org / Rank Math)

Question 1: Can I run the Maxxis High Road Gen 3 with an inner tube?

Answer: Yes. As a Tubeless Ready (TR) tire, it can be set up tubeless with sealant or used with standard butyl/latex/TPU inner tubes.

Question 2: What are the advantages of a 150 TPI casing?

Answer: A high TPI count (150 Threads Per Inch) means thinner, finer threads, producing a lighter and more flexible tire. This allows the tire to conform better to the road surface, reducing rolling resistance and enhancing grip.
