Review on 🔥 Maxxis Grifter Wire Single Compound Tyre: Unrivaled Performance and Durability by Rovy Oppeneer

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very smooth but damn that gravel throws!

Once fitted, these tires offer a very smooth ride on tarmac. A big upgrade from my Maxxis Minions for sidewalk riding. I prefer to ride smooth, paved, and wooden surfaces at places like Pump Lanes and Ray's Indoor Mountain Bike Park in Cleveland, Ohio. On loose gravel, however, these tires pick up the gravel and throw it away. on your down tube. Be prepared for paint chips to appear in the color of your downtube. When I tried to mount the tires on the wheels of my Motobecane Taz 3, the tire bead was extremely stiff, making it very difficult to mount the tire. I had to use two tire levers and a wooden work clamp to hold the bead piece already installed in the rim while I machined the remaining bead on top of the rim. For the record, my rims have an inner diameter of 36mm, which makes it difficult to mount non-foldable tires (like these) since it's a wider rim than the classic width rim that's been around for decades.

Pros
  • Grifter Tires
Cons
  • Slightly Crumpled
