Built for race day, the Aspen rolls fast on a low centre tread while side knobs that are generous by XC standards hold a line through corners. This 29 x 2.10 version uses dual compound rubber on a foldable bead.

Highlights

  • Low centre tread for fast rolling, with real XC cornering bite
  • Dual compound balances speed and grip
  • Tube-type: run it with an inner tube, E25 e-bike rated
  • 628 g claimed weight

About the Aspen

The Aspen is one of Maxxis's premier cross-country race tyres and has been a fixture of XC racing for close to three decades, most recently refined with input from Nino Schurter and his team. Maxxis recommends it for dry to mixed XC trail conditions, front or rear.

Dual compound rubber

A dual compound tread uses two rubbers to balance rolling resistance and grip. Its 60 TPI casing favours puncture and cut resistance over suppleness.

Compatibility & fit

Fits 29-inch rims (ETRTO 52-622); Maxxis lists a 17–30 mm internal rim width. Maximum pressure is 65 psi. Check frame and fork clearance for a 2.10-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.
