Does Maxxis make any hybrid/city bicycle tires?
-Dave, Norfolk, VA Yes, Maxxis has incorporated a new hybrid section of bicycle tires in our line for 2005. The Xenith (26×1.50) is a slick, narrow-profile MTB-road conversion tire with low rolling resistance on the road. The Over-Drive (26×1.75) is a grooved slick tread design equipped with a Kevlar belt for puncture resistance. The Overdrive also has a reflective stripe to enhance rider visibility on the road. I’ve heard that Maxxis is coming out with a new MTB Urban Assault version of the Holy Roller. Is this true? -Vernon, Las Vegas, NV Yes! Maxxis is now offering the Holy Roller BMX tread pattern in a 24×2.40 and 26×2.40 size, new for 2005. This tire is comprised of a lightweight single-ply casing sidewall and possesses the versatility of the Holy Roller to perform well in the dirt and on the street. How good do you have to be to become a Maxxis sponsored bicycle rider? -Nicole, Grand Rapids, MI Maxxis encourages all riders from all disciplines to apply for grass roots sponsorship
