The Reaver is Maxxis's go-to gravel race tyre: low and fast through the centre, with meaty side knobs for consistent cornering. This 700 x 40C version combines dual compound rubber with EXO sidewall protection on a steel wire bead.

  • Low diamond-knurled centre for speed, meaty side knobs for cornering
  • Dual compound balances speed and grip
  • EXO sidewalls resist cuts and abrasion
  • Tube-type: run it with an inner tube
  • 512 g claimed weight

About the Reaver

A low, diamond-knurled centre tread keeps speed up on pavement, dirt roads and gravel, while meaty side knobs give consistent cornering traction. Maxxis pitches it as a 50/50 on-road and off-road tread to choose when off-road speed is the priority. Run it front and rear.

Dual compound rubber and EXO casing

A dual compound tread uses two rubbers to balance rolling resistance and grip. EXO adds a light, flexible, cut- and abrasion-resistant fabric to the sidewalls. A steel wire bead adds strength, though it won't fold for carrying.

Compatibility & fit

Fits 700C rims (ETRTO 40-622); Maxxis lists a 17–27 mm internal rim width. Maximum pressure is 75 psi. Check frame and fork clearance for a 40 mm 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.
