Short version: Great rear tire for general purpose trail riding. Efficient. Planted. Great climber.Long version: I’ve been mountain biking for 25 years, gone through countless tires. I’m not a featherweight, nor am I racing or bombing off big downhill stuff…too old for such shenanigans. Just a middle-aged guy having some fun while staying in shape. Typical ride is ~10 miles w/ 1200 ft of ascent, about 1000 miles/year on a mix of hardpack, sand, gravel, rock, and sloppy rock. But enough about me.This replaced a rear Specialized Slaughter which was worn but still had life left in it. The Slaughter was a fine tire, but this Maxxis is a huge upgrade for me. The rubber compound is noticeably softer and the tread pattern is more efficient — very quiet on pavement. This thing climbs and pedals like a champ. Unbelievable traction on a mix of surfaces. Yet very little squirm for all the traction, a noticeable improvement while cornering and off-camber.What I think is happening: Better tread and softer rubber means I can increase psi while still having better traction. And higher psi means less tire roll while cornering and off-camber, which feels less squirmy and more solidly planted.I’m curious to see how the softer rubber wears over time, it has only been on for a few days. But somewhat faster-than-normal wear is more than worth it for how well this suits my riding.I’m sure there are better rear tires for other applications such as downhill or cross country or racing. But this is a great all-around tire for those who just like to get out there and ride.

Swapped my bontrager XR4 in the rear to this after a sidewall puncture. There was an extremely noticeable difference in braking power and cornering grip (compared to my XR4). Couldnβt even break the back wheel loose when I tried, and I was much more confident in corners right away. A little draggy to climb with on an average trail ride, but I got used to it pretty quick. If you have mixed trail conditions with hardpack, rocks, and loose dirt this tire will serve you well! Note: I did fold it a bit my first ride so itβs not a tire you want to run a super low PSI with, or go with the sturdier sidewall version. Was also a little hard to seat.

Bike: Ibis Ripley v3 Maxxis Dissector 29×2.4WT Front/Maxxis Aggressor 29.2.2 Rear.Rear tire installation. Went on tubeless, easy, popped right into a 27mm id rim with no issues.Tire weight at a whopping 916grams, compared to my Kenda Karma pro at 670grams, I felt the weight difference! This is a solid Tire and no doubt it’s a great braking and climbing Tire, hooks up to packed, loose over packed, rocks, roots…you name it, works great.For my application of aggressive XC/light Trail riding…this is too heavy of a Tire combo for me. I lost the liveliness and playfulness of the Ripley with this combo.I went with a Rekon 29×2.35 on the rear instead and a Dissector 29×2.4WT front….this is a great compromise for more grip on corners but also keeping the short travel Ripley grippy and lively on the trails.For a more of an aggressive Trail bike/ Enduro bike setup, this is a great rear tire no doubt.

My bike came with Minions front and rear but those would wear out so fast. I got this for the rear to enhance rolling resistance while still maintaining grip and cornering. Bonus – it has out lasted the minions by more than twice as long! Great tire in all respects! For what it is worth, I went to the Highroller II on the front and the larger side lugs have also held up more than twice as long as the Minions!

This came on my Yeti SB130 so I bought another when the 1st wore out. Works good in the West Texas rocks. I would go with something else if I was in soft dirt.

Maxxis tires are the best. I bought a pump with a reserve which makes them way easier to mount tubeless. Pretty frustrating if trying to mount with a regular pump
