It has almost become the universal choice of tyre, and not so long ago there were few alternatives to the High Roller, such was its superb all-round dry condition ability. Always a hit with us and yet again is one of our picks in the 2016 Dirt 100. The proven, predictable cornering and braking, is enhanced by the Maxxis 3C rubber compound with a medium top tread and soft shoulder sitting over a stable harder compound base. This 3C model (available in 2.3 or 2.4 widths) also sports Exo sidewall technology, shunning off damage from rocks and trail debris. Weighing in at less than 900g, there a many reasons why this tyre, matched with a faster rear is a reliable choice for most riders pushing on hard in a variety of terrain both here in the UK and abroad. There’s nothing quite like the security offered by a soft compound High Roller when diving into a pile of rock and root either.
