Maxxis Dissector Gen 2 Tyre - Black

The Maxxis Dissector returns with a host of upgrades that improve performance across the board. Most notably, the side knobs have been completely redesigned with a larger footprint and reworked sipes, boosting stability and predictability in corners, especially on hard terrain. The new shape resists deflection under load, increasing both durability and control. Side knob engagement is also quicker, giving riders a more confident, planted feel in turns.

The centre tread retains the familiar 2-3-2 layout, but the centre "3" has been split into individual knobs for improved braking traction and better terrain conformity. Transition knobs have been pushed outward, creating a smoother, more consistent feel as the tyre leans over. Like the side knobs, the centre tread also benefits from revised sipes for enhanced grip and longevity.

These updates make the Dissector an even more versatile option for short- to mid-travel trail bikes. It excels as a front tyre on bikes with 130–140mm of travel, especially when paired with a fast-rolling rear like the Forekaster or Re-kon. On longer travel bikes (150mm+), it serves as a fast, confident rear tyre in dry conditions.
