Maxxis has done it again with its latest XC race tire. The new Maxxis Aspen pushes the limits of a lightweight XC tire designed to have minimal rolling resistance. The Aspen is designed with a high-volume casing to smooth out the roughest roots & rocks, while the dual compounds gives optimal traction in the corners. So if crossing the finish line first is your top priority, then the Aspen was designed for you.
