Maxxis Dissector Exo tyre review: Trail option that deftly straddles the speed vs grip line

A Maxxis Dissector tyre fitted to a MTB wheel.
  • Price: £74.99, $95 (29 x 2.4in WT 3C MaxxTerra Exo)
  • Sizes: 27.5 and 29in. 2.4 and 2.6in
  • Carcass: Exo, Exo+, DD, DH
  • Compound: Dual, 3C MaxxTerra, 3C MaxxGrip
  • Weight: 843g (29 x 2.4in WT 3C MaxxTerra Exo)

Apparently born from the dry and loose tyre desires of World Cup DH star Troy Brosnan, the Dissector plates up different elements from the Maxxis buffet to create a great tyre for those riders who feel a bit too gripped on the brand's Minion DHR II and Assegai. Originally designed as a rear, the Dissector works well on the front too, particularly in drier conditions and is one of the best MTB trail tyres around.
