MAXXIS Receptor EXO/TR/TanWall 120 TPI Tubeless 700C x 40 Gravel Tyre
Experience unparalleled speed and versatility on your next mixed-terrain adventure with the MAXXIS Receptor EXO/TR/TanWall 120 TPI Tubeless 700C x 40 gravel tyre. This semi-slick tyre is meticulously engineered for the modern gravel cyclist who demands efficiency on pavement, hard-packed dirt roads, and light gravel surfaces. It stands as the perfect link between a pure road tyre and a more aggressive gravel tread, offering the best of both worlds for fast-paced riding.
The core of the Receptor´s design is its low-profile center tread. This feature ensures minimal rolling resistance, allowing you to maintain high speeds effortlessly on smoother sections, making it feel quick and responsive underfoot. The Receptor rolls with incredible ease and efficiency, whether you´re cruising on asphalt or pushing the pace on firm dirt paths. When the route takes you into corners or onto looser terrain, small, pronounced side knobs engage to provide confident and predictable cornering traction. This gives you the grip you need to carve through loose-over-hard terrain without sacrificing speed on the straights.
Engineered for performance and durability, this tyre is built upon a supple, high-volume 120 TPI casing. This high thread count allows the tyre to conform exceptionally well to the surface, smoothing out road and trail imperfections for a more comfortable and controlled ride. This is complemented by its Tubeless Ready (TR) design. By running a tubeless setup, you can benefit from lower tyre pressures, which dramatically enhances traction, comfort, and provides superior protection against common punctures.
For peace of mind on unpredictable routes, the Receptor is equipped with Maxxis´ acclaimed EXO Protection. This is a highly cut- and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls, providing a robust layer of defense against sharp rocks and trail debris without adding unnecessary weight or compromising the tyre´s supple feel. The classic TanWall design adds a touch of timeless style, making your bike stand out from the pack. As a tyre designed for Gravel cycling, this 28´´- 700 x 40 tyre offers a versatile footprint, featuring a lightweight Folding bead and full Tubeless compatibility. The Receptor is the ideal choice for both front and rear installation, creating a balanced setup for speed and control.
