Designed in cooperation with Aussie DH racer Troy Brosnan, the Dissector seeks to minimize drag while retaining cornering control. Maxxis 3C MaxxTerra compound is softer and offers more traction than 3C MaxxSpeed yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than MaxxGrip. When used on a trail bike this versatile tire can be used as a front, a pair, or as a rear depending on trail conditions. When used on a downhill bike, we recommend the Dissector as a rear tire paired with a larger-knobbed front tire such as the Assegai or Minion DHF.
