Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Maxxis Holy Roller tubeless-ready?
No. The Holy Roller is produced with a wire bead clincher and a single-compound casing; it is not marketed as tubeless-ready. While some riders attempt tubeless conversions, the wire bead and casing construction make a reliable tubeless setup unlikely and not recommended by the manufacturer.
What pressure should I run for park and dirt jumps?
The tire is rated to 60 PSI for seating and maximum inflation, but real-world BMX and dirt-jump pressures typically sit much lower. Expect to run roughly 20–40 PSI depending on rider weight, rim width and personal preference: lower pressures for more traction and impact absorption, higher for firmer landings and quicker response.
What does 60 TPI mean for ride quality?
A 60 TPI casing uses fewer, thicker threads than higher TPI tires, so it favors durability and puncture resistance over extreme suppleness. You get a robust tire that resists cuts and sidewall damage under jump impacts, but it will be slightly stiffer and heavier than a high-TPI folding race tire.
Can I use the Holy Roller on an e-bike?
No. This model is not e-bike approved. E-bikes put higher sustained loads on tires, and manufacturers specify approved tires for safety and longevity. Choose a tire specifically rated for e-bike use if you need electric-assist compatibility.
Which size should I choose for my bike?
Select the size that matches your wheel diameter (20", 24", 26") and frame clearance. The 20"x2.20 is a common choice for BMX park and street. Check your rim inner width and frame/fork clearance — the spec lists a width range of approximately 1.90–2.25" for the 2.20 labeled size.
How much does the tire weigh?
The spec lists the 20"x2.20 version at approximately 610 g. Larger diameter or wider versions (26"x2.4 etc.) will be heavier. Wire bead construction adds weight compared to lightweight folding alternatives.
Buying Guide
When choosing BMX or dirt-jump tires, decide whether durability or low weight is your priority. Wire-bead, single-compound tires like the Holy Roller emphasize longevity, cut resistance and impact tolerance — ideal for heavy landings and street abuse. Pay attention to TPI: lower TPI (like 60) increases toughness, higher TPI yields a more supple, lighter ride but less sidewall protection. Match tire width to your rim and frame clearance, and consider your riding style: narrower, lower-volume tyres roll faster and are twitchier for street tricks; wider tyres add cushioning and stability on jumps. If you need tubeless or e-bike compatibility, look for models explicitly rated for those uses instead of the Holy Roller.
