MAXXIS MX-IH 120 / 90-18 REAR TYRE

Maxxis tasked Todd Waters with developing a 120/90-18 Int-Hard Terrain rear tyre for enduro. The criteria (1.) would give him the best racing performance (2.) last in Australia’s hard, fast & rocky terrain. Waters worked closely with Taiwanese MAXXIS engineers & technicians to get the performance exactly where he wanted it. Waters signed off on the final development tyre and it is now available at dealers nationwide.

THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
Throughout the development process, they paid particular attention to:

Acceleration on hard / blue-groove terrain
Predictability under heavy breaking
Predictability when pounding rock gardens
Equal performance with Mousse or Tube
THE RESULT
Combined the lightweight MX-IH motocross tyre with a strong carcass construction and durable rubber compound for both on and off-road use.

The tyre features a pliable sidewall, that acts like dampening, which provides predictable handling through rock gardens and a planted feeling under heavy braking where you need the tyre to flatten out. The new rubber compound and wide tread pattern work together to provide great straight-line traction and long wear life over high-speed trails

All this combined, results in a lightweight off-road tyre that accelerates hard out of turns, is very predictable under braking, hooks up in hard / dusty conditions and holds up in hard rocky terrain.
