MAXXIS Aggressor - Dual Compound - EXO, DD - E25 Rating, Tubeless | Primarily Intended for Rear Wheel Use

I read a lot of reviews for mountain bike tires and bikes on trails which is of course what should be done, but not a lot of people give reviews for urban/city riding. The Aggressor is an excellent city tire that's very tough and very grippy with a surprisingly low rolling resistance level (I run around 30 psi for city). The rubber itself is noticably thicker, rougher, and tougher to the touch than my Ardent Race 3c MaxxSpeed in the front (which will be replaced by a Minion DHF). Yes this is a heavier tire, but the grip and low RR makes up for the weight. On the trails, as another reviewer stated, it's a great climber. Also grips extremely well in high speed and rocky corners. Braking is very good also, especially on concrete and asphalt. Installation was easy, which is common for Maxxis tires, and has a good fit on 25mm ID rims. The only thing I would suggest with this tire is staying away from riding on the sides of roads because my first Aggressor suffered an unrepairable puncture from a 3 inch long screw with pretty thick threads. Maybe tire plugs would have helped, but those are a temporary fix anyway. To sum it up basically, I'm not going back to my previous XC tires. Ha ha

In order to leave a decent review I'll just put up a recent history of the rubber I've had on this particular bike - Tomahawk(rear) Ardent 2.4(F/R), X-Kings(F/R), DHRII(F) and a few more. Set up on a set of Spank OOZY 295's they popped in with a low volume floor pump and sealed up well. Riding a RM Altitude 150/160mm trail-ish bike. Look for the directional arrow when mounting as the tread looks almost "backwards" with the braking center tread. On the rear this tire rules all. Not as light or fast rolling as the X-king or Ardent nor as cush as the 2.4 versions of those but it's a 2.3 with a bit heavier casing which shows. I dropped the pressure to 20psi and I weigh wo gear 165lbs. It grips for days, standing up, sitting - multiple kinds of rock, through last fall's leftover leaves, wet sand and damp ground as well as loose over hardpack and loose over bare rock. Braking vertical or leaned is superb and the small amount of extra weight is unnoticeable. The one on the rear weighed in just over 800 grams. On the front I felt a big difference compared to the Ardent - not as floaty(2.3vs2.4) or as fast and not as wide; it fell into some rock cracks I didn't happen across in prior rides. It also didn't let lose on anything in corners and railed everything I pointed it at. I started the pressure at 26 lbs and ended up at 21lbs for the first two days and depending on if the casing softens at all I may drop this. In transition there is no vagueness - even bite from side to side. Places where I would slide out intentionally with the Ardents F/R since I knew at that speed they wouldn't hook up I was locked in when I weighed the front of the bike down. I'd say these are reminiscent of the smaller DHRII or DHF but much lighter. Nice tire just a different style to get used to. Reviewed after 3 rides 30+ miles. I'm leaving them on in the SE(VA, WV, NC, PA) this spring and summer and will check back with wear and personality in a couple of months.

Create on my 21 speed KHS bike love it works well gives a little bit of extra grip and still comfortable. I would buy it again exclamation point.

I am very satisfied with the quality of the bike tires. They are exceptionally well-made and give the bike a trail-ready appearance. These tires are precisely what I look for, and I would definitely purchase them again, as they are well worth the price. The seller also provided very quick shipping.

Excellent tire _ great

Bike: Ibis Ripley v3 Maxxis Dissector 29x2.4WT Front/Maxxis Aggressor 29.2.2 Rear. Rear tire installation. Went on tubeless, easy, popped right into a 27mm id rim with no issues. Tire weight at a whopping 916grams, compared to my Kenda Karma pro at 670grams, I felt the weight difference! This is a solid Tire and no doubt it's a great braking and climbing Tire, hooks up to packed, loose over packed, rocks, roots...you name it, works great. For my application of aggressive XC/light Trail riding...this is too heavy of a Tire combo for me. I lost the liveliness and playfulness of the Ripley with this combo. I went with a Rekon 29x2.35 on the rear instead and a Dissector 29x2.4WT front....this is a great compromise for more grip on corners but also keeping the short travel Ripley grippy and lively on the trails. For a more of an aggressive Trail bike/ Enduro bike setup, this is a great rear tire no doubt.

Excelente llanta, muy buen frenado y agarre como llanta trasera

buon compromesso, rinforzata,buon grip e abbastanza scorrevole

su montaje es espectacular, buen agarre en barro, hielo, no se le puede pedir más a una rueda MTB

アスファルトでは使用しなかったので、すぐに摩耗することに気付きました。

Ottimo copertone da montare al posteriore, doppia carcassa e minore rischio di forature o abrasioni
