The Hookworm is the original urban assault tyre, built tough for streets, parks and anywhere a durable tyre earns its keep. This 20 x 1.95 version uses a single compound tread on a steel wire bead.

Highlights

  • Bead-to-bead tread for durability and traction on the street
  • Single compound tread
  • 60 x 2 (dual-ply) casing for strength
  • Tube-type: run it with an inner tube
  • 720 g claimed weight

About the Hookworm

Its bead-to-bead tread design gives durability and traction in harsh street environments, and Maxxis calls it an ultra-durable BMX tyre. Maxxis also suggests the Hookworm for cargo bikes, pedicabs and any other job where a tough tyre is needed.

Single compound rubber

A single rubber compound runs right through the tread. Two plies of 60 TPI casing add strength for hard use. A steel wire bead adds strength, though it won't fold for carrying.

Compatibility & fit

Fits 20-inch rims (ETRTO 53-406); Maxxis lists a 17–30 mm internal rim width. Maximum pressure is 110 psi. Check frame and fork clearance for a 1.95-inch tyre. It isn't tubeless ready, so run a tube (Maxxis says sealant in a non-TR tyre voids the warranty). Fitting isn't included; our workshop can fit it for you.

Covered against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Normal tread wear, punctures, cuts and damage from incorrect fitting or inflation, or from using sealant in a tyre that isn't tubeless ready, are not manufacturing defects. For warranty support, return the product to Tune Cycles and we'll manage the claim with KWT Imports, Maxxis's Australian distributor.
