Detailed Description

"When speed is your only priority, the Maxxis Reaver is the ultimate choice. Positioned as the faster sibling to the iconic Rambler, the Reaver was developed for modern gravel racing where rolling efficiency is the key to the podium.

Race-Oriented Tread Design

The center of the tread features a tightly packed 'diamond' pattern that minimizes rolling resistance on asphalt and hard-packed gravel. However, as soon as the terrain gets technical or you lean into a corner, the pronounced side lugs bite in, providing predictable and secure traction that allows you to maintain high speeds off-road.

EXO Protection & 120 TPI Casing

Despite its focus on speed, the Reaver does not compromise on durability. The EXO sidewall protection prevents cuts and abrasions from sharp rocks, while the high-density 120 TPI casing ensures a supple ride. This allows the tire to conform to terrain irregularities, reducing rider fatigue and increasing overall comfort.

Tubeless Ready & Tanwall Aesthetic

Designed for Tubeless Ready (TR) setups, this tire allows you to run lower pressures for increased grip while virtually eliminating the risk of pinch flats. The Tanwall (para-sidewall) finish adds a touch of vintage class to your gravel build, making it stand out as much for its style as for its performance."

Technical Specifications

Usage & Setup Guide

• Recommended Pressure: For an optimal balance of speed and comfort on 700x40c, we suggest starting at 2.2 - 2.8 Bar (32-40 PSI), depending on rider weight and luggage.

• Installation: As a Tubeless Ready tire, we highly recommend using a high-quality sealant (such as Stan's NoTubes or Muc-Off) to ensure maximum puncture protection and air retention.

• Ideal Terrain: This tire excels on pavement, smooth gravel, and dry trails. For deep mud or loose conditions, the Maxxis Rambler or Ravager may be more suitable.

FAQ

• Can I use this tire with a tube? Yes, all Tubeless Ready tires can be used with a standard inner tube, though they perform best in a tubeless configuration.

• Is it suitable for E-Gravel bikes? Yes, the EXO protection is durable enough to handle the extra torque and weight of modern electric gravel bikes.

• What is the lifespan of the tread? Being a race-oriented tire with a dual compound, it prioritizes grip and speed. Longevity will depend on the percentage of asphalt versus dirt riding.
