Maxxis Tires Simplified – The Best Combos For Your Mountain Bike
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!

#maxxis #tire #comparison
Maxxis tires simplified: buy Schwalbe
I use DHF front and rear on my 2021 Kona Honzo. Great tire combo for where I ride.
I just installed a Rekon 2.4/DRHII 2.4 on my trail bike. I had 2.6 Hans Dampf front and rear. The bike is much lighter. Tomorrow morning I’m going to test them!
Why didn’t you mention a tire for basic street and concrete riding.
Which Maxxis combo would you recommend for trail riding in the Midwest. I have a Giant Trance Advanced Pro 3, 29er. Thanks
*Laughs in 600 dollar hardtail with the double ass rubbers*
Me building a pole taival with dh casing dhf/dissector combo.
2:52 – Dissector Rear, DHR II Front. Exactly the opposite of the spec on the @ibiscycles IBIS Riley!
I just bought what I think will be the best tire combo for me all around.
I live in Madeira Island is a mix of sun and rain and all types of terrain. After my favorite combo dhr2 back high roller 2 front on my hardtail, I decided to go for Dissector 2.4 back and high roller 2 3c front in 27.5 wheels.
Tell me what do you think…
Cross country / icon back recon front , that’s it 🤞
i have a 2,35′ front and 2,25′ rear
Double Minion DHR II 👌🏼
What do you think about the onza porcupine tires, 29. 2.4
I’ve struggling with steering balance using ikon for front tires. I wanna am i the only one?
Ass guy sucks for anything except super steep terrain. Dhr front and dissector rear 👍👍👍👍
minions DHR in the front reckon race in the rear
Still in the experimental phase. Run same types of trails as Jeff. Dissector front and rekon rear was fast. DHF 2.5 and rekon 2.4 is still pretty fast and mentally I like knowing I have one of the beefiest front tires there is.
Only problem is that he rarely uses the words ‘wet’ or ‘mud’ …. All the videos are on nice dry trails .. In the UK we have 6 months of rain leading to heavy mud trails…. Share the love bruv 🤯
What do you think is the best tire combo? Let us know!

Assegai front / High Roller rear!
Maxxis ardent front and rear for XCO are fantastic.
Fast and decent grip
Dhrear / dhfront 👌
just DHF & DHR II like its supposed to be
Do the Dissectors come in not WT? My wheel ID are 25cm. Max width of tire for my bike is 2.5. I’m thinking 2.4 front 2.25 rear.
Hi I wanna use Ikon 27,5 x 2.20 for Back and Ardent 27,5 x 2.20 for Front, is it good?
This video was made for me! I’m like deer in headlights trying to decide what tires to run. Still no closer to figuring that out.
I put double dhf2 in this weekend i am going to test that
All around ignitor maxxis
What about an Assegai and Dissector F/R?
Assegai exo+ front and agressor DD back…The best!
@01:47 is out of control! 😂Where’d you find this?
Other than name, what’s the difference between a Mountain Bike and a Trail Bike? At a glance they look the same. I call my Trek Mamba a Trail Bike but the dealer said it’s a Mountain Bike. Asking for a friend lol
OK. What about tire pressures?????????
I ride a DHR II 29×2.30 in the rear and a High Roller II 29×2.30 in the front…on my XC bike.Let it begin! 😀
My plan is to upgrade my tires with a 2.35×29 rear (Knobby tires) and a 2.1×29 front (Low profile with small traction). Fast momentum on both but grippy on the rear for better traction while a low profile on the front will provide great handling.
What would you recommend for slippery mud situations
What about High Roller 2?
What about Maxxis Ardent?
What about Ardent Race?
Aghhhhhh
Your vids are good. But those clips you insert are annoying and not very funny
Meh, I lost all interest in Maxxis tires once I got my Kenda Pinner Pro front and Kenda Hellkat Pro rear. No Maxxis I have ever owned compares to these tires
DHF front and high roller 2 rear is a combo for all mountain
Mine got Assegai front and rekon race at the back.. Any thoughts?
Does the type of tire you show here make any difference for punctures?
personally i run a assegei in the front and the dhf in the rear gives me e best of both worlds
whats the best combo for a enduro downhill? (only maxxis)
Tubeless. /Is this the way?
My Pivot Switchblade came with DHF front and rear. When they got worn enough to start weeping sealant through the sidewalls I replaced them with Ardents front and rear. I didn’t think I could get better traction than the DHF’S, but wow was I wrong. Plus I saved over 2 pounds of rotational weight!!!
Come in guys. Pressure Maxxis to make the Assagai in a 26 x 2.3 / 26 x 2.4 / 26 x 2.5 in the tougher casings. They would sell like fucking hot cakes.
Just great ! Clear, decisive, effective !!! thanks.
Ordered my maxxis ikon for my XC
Great review. Love the clips used too. Thanks
