Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Maxxis Aggressor tubeless ready?
Yes — the Aggressor is Tubeless Ready. Mount it on a compatible tubeless rim, use a quality tubeless valve and sealant, and you can run lower pressures for improved traction and fewer pinch flats. Always follow Maxxis mounting and sealant recommendations.
Which casing should I choose: 60TPI or Double Down?
Choose the 60TPI dual‑compound folding version if you prioritize lighter weight and more responsive handling. Pick the Double Down 120x2TPI variant when you need maximum sidewall protection and puncture resistance for rock gardens, steep technical terrain, or heavy riders.
What terrain is the Aggressor best suited for?
The Aggressor excels on aggressive trail and technical singletrack — loam, roots, packed dirt and broken rock. Its tight intermediary knob layout and grippy shoulders make it especially strong in cornering and braking zones.
Can I use these tires on an e‑MTB?
No — the listed Aggressor variants here are not e‑Bike approved. E‑MTBs put higher torque and repeated stress on tires; use only models specifically rated for e‑bike use if you plan to fit them to an electric mountain bike.
What pressure should I run with the Aggressor?
Maxxis lists a 60 PSI rating, but real-world trail pressures depend on rider weight, rim width and conditions. For aggressive trail riding, many riders run between 18–30 PSI; start in the middle and adjust to avoid burping on tubeless setups or feeling too harsh on rocks.
How durable are Aggressor sidewalls with EXO?
EXO adds a densely woven fabric layer to the sidewall that substantially improves resistance to cuts and abrasions without adding a lot of weight. It won't make tires indestructible, but it reduces common sidewall failures for aggressive trail use.
Buying Guide
When choosing a mountain tire like the Maxxis Aggressor, match the casing and width to your riding style: lighter 60TPI folding versions for faster handling and lower weight, and Double Down 120x2TPI for extra puncture and sidewall protection. Consider your rim internal width — wider rims flatten the profile and improve cornering stability; narrower rims keep a more rounded contact patch for quick transitions. If you plan to run tubeless, budget for sealant and a reliable valve system and start with moderate pressures, then fine‑tune for traction and rim protection. Finally, confirm the tire’s e‑bike approval status if you ride an electric mountain bike — the Aggressor variants listed here are not e‑Bike approved.
