Maxxis Tires Simplified - The Best Combos For Your Mountain Bike

Today we are talking about Maxxis mountain bike tires. No two tires are built alike so picking the proper front and rear mountain bike tire combo for the job is essential. In this video, Jeff runs us through a comprehensive list of his favorite Maxxis Tire Combos for every imaginable trail condition and riding style. We cover the entire gamut of tires for every discipline from ultra-light XC tires like the Ikon, Reckon, and Rekon Race to the mid-weight offerings with more traction like the Dissector and Minion DHR II. If you lean more toward the enduro or downhill side of things, the Minion DHF and Assegai tires might be more your speed. Check out the video and see which set of Maxxis tires is right for you!

What do you think is the best tire combo? Let us know!

[Aidengordon]

Assegai, DHR II in my opinion the best combo ever. Perfect balance between fun and grip.

[Mr._Keeps]

Been running a DHR2/F and Rekon/R all it!!!

[mountainlessbiking]

You should do a video on “the best of the rest” with everything not Maxxis. I feel like people are missing out. Wild Enduros are cheap and I like them better than the assgressor.

[Scottatnord]

Best tire video in the entire universe.

[froznfire]

Assegai in front and a Aggresor in the back is amazing for Enduro/Trail bikes.

[Creativedogmedia]

Actually enjoying Rekon front and Rekon Race rear. Super fast and decent grip for XC/trail.

[ianisfun]

This channel is so underrated. Best Mtb commentary and editing hands down.

29/2.5 EXO Assegai up front, 29/2.5 EXO Aggressor out back. I’ve PR’ed all my local trails since changing over. Cornering is on rails!

wow, i was searching for maxxis tyre combos, and when turn off my phone and lie it down, i get notified that wc uploaded this vid

[borgquistn]

Im curently running rekon rear and forkaster front and they work realy well on my xc / trail 140mm hardtail 🔥👍 (Orbea laufey)

[A.D.D.O.C.D.T]

DHF/Agressor.
1st bike so will see how they go, was recommend by the shop for the local trials.👌🇦🇺🙏

[zigazackwrx]

I run the Agressor in the back and DHR2 on the front. It has been a fantastic combo here in Northern Utah.

[ZOB]

I run Ardent Race front and rear on my “good weather” set up, probably going to do the DHR II and Dissector combo you mentioned here for my winter/wet set up.

[graysonadams]

For tame midwest trails with loads of climbs, forekaster front and back is the ticket. Anything heavier is just sooo slow but you still get a ton of grip.

[mikelafferty]

Just installed an Ikon front and rear, glad to hear that you like it for an ultimate speed setup, thats what I was going for over my seemingly heavy Rekon/ Rekon combo

[Larpy]

Another great video. Thanks. I love the no-nonsense approach that’s full of nonsense. Anyone who’s watched one of your videos will get it. Keep at it and good luck with all things.

[robociock]

Finally what I was looking for, I'm new in tires world and online everybody is telling something different, so I'm going for dhf front and sector rear 👌

I took your Maxxis DHR2 as a front tire recommendation, and I actually did not like it very much. Riding a 2019 GT Sensor (130mm). My terrain is Michigan dirt, packed sand, dust on like it took away stability, front end felt a bit darty - it was very apparent when riding no handed. I put on a new Maxxis DHF up front and was very satisfied - very neutral handling and just as grippy when leaned over also running a Maxxis Aggressor in the back, which is a great tire for my local dirt conditions. The Maxxis DHF /Aggressor is about perfect a combo, for the rear will begin to break loose before the front, giving me a clue I'm about to exceed my cornering local terrain makes a difference!!!
