TheMaxxis Rambler EXO 700x45C is a tubeless-ready gravel tire designed for all-around use on hardpack roads and gravel. The "EXO" designation indicates Maxxis's proprietary sidewall protection, which helps guard against cuts and abrasions.
Key features
Intended use: It is classified as a gravel and cyclocross tire, suitable for paved roads, dirt roads, and gravel.
Tread design: The tread has a densely packed center with ramped knobs for fast rolling on hardpack surfaces. The cornering knobs are more spaced out to provide better control in variable conditions.
Technology:
EXO Protection: A cut and abrasion-resistant material woven into the sidewalls to increase durability.
Tubeless Ready (TR): The tire is optimized for tubeless use, allowing you to run lower air pressures for improved traction and comfort.
Dual Compound: A dual rubber compound provides a balance of low rolling resistance and cornering grip.
Casing: Depending on the specific version, it can come with a 60 TPI (threads per inch) or 120 TPI casing, with the higher TPI offering a more supple and comfortable ride.
