Rubber Compound Technologies:
3C MaxxSpeed: The new MaxxSpeed (2023) is our top-shelf rubber compound for XC racing. It’s a high-silica content compound which reduces rolling resistance while also enhancing wet traction. Compared to the previous 3C MaxxSpeed, the new compound has approximately 25% less rolling resistance in a lab setting (using the same tread pattern, construction, and tire pressure). In a real world setting, our testing shows the new compound can save up to a minute over the course of a 90-minute race.
Dual Compound: The firmest compound. Uses a firm rubber at the base of the knobs, and a slightly softer rubber on the top of both the centre and side knobs for a simple construction.
