Maxxis introduce gen three DH focused High Roller

Maxxis chose Crankworx Whistler to introduce the third generation of its High Roller – a tyre built, tested and raced on the World Cup Downhill circuit.

The brand-new intermediate tyre, with an aggressive tread design, has already taken gravity athletes including Jackson Goldstone, Ronan Dunne, Marine Cabirou and Ellie Hulsebosch to the top of World Cup podiums.

Product lineup

This all-new High Roller is poised to take its place between the Assegai and the Shorty in Maxxis’ lineup, and like the first version of the High Roller, aims to redraw the limits of what’s possible on a downhill bike.

All-new. What’s new?

The generation three High Roller merges an open tread pattern with large, well-supported side knobs, a combination that allows for good soil penetration in wet weather and the traction and cornering control needed for dry and dusty conditions.

Essentially, this version of the High Roller is designed for the demanding scenarios found on World Cup courses: steep, wet, mixed and blown-out tracks.

The ultra-sticky MaxxGrip compound adds to High Roller’s downhill traction, while the 2 x 60 TPI downhill casing, Maxxis’ most durable, helps to muffle trail obstacles and impacts.

Sustainable materials

In keeping with Maxxis’ commitment to using sustainable materials and processes wherever possible, the latest iteration of the High Roller ships in fully recyclable packaging, and the hanger features cardboard made of 75% recycled paper with recyclable plastic straps instead of zip ties.

In the UK Maxxis is distributed by Extra UK, with retailers able to order from account manager or the B2B platform
