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 32 x 2.40 version combines MaxxSpeed rubber with EXO sidewall protection on a tubeless-ready foldable bead.

Highlights

  • Low centre tread for fast rolling, with real XC cornering bite
  • MaxxSpeed (2023) high-silica race compound
  • EXO sidewalls resist cuts and abrasion
  • Tubeless Ready (TR), E50 e-bike rated
  • 837 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.

MaxxSpeed rubber and EXO casing

MaxxSpeed (2023) is Maxxis's top XC race compound. Its high-silica formula improves wet traction and, in Maxxis lab tests, cut rolling resistance by about 25% against 3C MaxxSpeed. EXO adds a light, flexible, cut- and abrasion-resistant fabric to the sidewalls.

Compatibility & fit

Fits 32-inch rims (ETRTO 61-686); Maxxis lists a 21–35 mm internal rim width. It's for 32-inch wheels only. Maximum pressure is 25 psi. Check frame and fork clearance for a 2.40-inch tyre. Fitting isn't included; our workshop can mount it and set it up tubeless.

Covered against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Normal tread wear, punctures, cuts and damage from incorrect fitting or inflation 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.
