The Maxxis Aspen is a premier XC race tire. A low center tread height allows the Aspen to roll quickly, but substantial - for XC - side knobs provide cornering traction.
Dual Compound: Best for dry, hard conditions
120 TPI + EXO Casing: Best for XC use, a cut- and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of many Maxxis mountain bike and gravel tires
