MAXXIS - 700C REAVER
Maxxis introduces the brand new Reaver gravel tyre: A race-ready tread pattern that maintains the confidence level of a meatier gravel tyre without sacrificing rolling speed.
The tread design uses diamond knurling to reduce rolling resistance and enhance grip in dusty or loose conditions. Paddle knobs arranged in sets of three provide extra bite under hard braking, while the side knobs are spaced closely together and are staggered for consistent cornering performance. A sipe (groove) in each of the side knobs allows them to flex and conform to the terrain, improving traction.
Compared to the venerable Rambler, the Reaver is faster rolling, lighter and has higher puncture resistance in the tread area. In mixed conditions or deeper gravel, the Rambler is more versatile, but if off-road speed is priority number one, the Reaver is the clear choice.
