The Next Generation of MaxxTerra Tires are Here!
Built to Perform. Engineered to Last.
April 16, 2026
Maxxis is proud to announce the next generation of the popular MaxxTerra rubber compound, delivering significant gains in durability and traction while maintaining the rolling efficiency riders expect from the brand’s performance mountain bike tires.
At a time when everything seems to be getting more expensive, Maxxis heard the feedback from mountain bikers that they wanted tires that would last longer, without giving up the ability to perform in challenging terrain. The Maxxis engineers have been hard at work in the lab developing and testing this new generation MaxxTerra compound, and well…they nailed it!
We couldn’t be more excited about the results, with at least a 30% improvement in tread wear and durability over the original generation MaxxTerra, and a 15% improvement in traction. All accomplished without giving up anything in rolling resistance. This is performance you’ll feel from the first ride, and performance you’ll keep feeling ride, after ride, after ride. That means more time having fun riding your bike, and less time changing tires!
The updated compound will roll out across the full range of Maxxis trail tires in phases, with the first phase available now. The new generation MaxxTerra is identified by a “New MaxxTerra” graphic on the packaging, and the tech badge on the tire itself now reads only “MaxxTerra” compared with the old version saying “3C MaxxTerra”.
