thirsty2 Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 (edited) i've seen a maxis highroler downhill (the 1 with the orange stripe going around near the tred of the tyre) in my local bike shop i was wondering what they would be like for trials.are the sidewalls strong or are they just a complete waste of money cheers people!alex Edited December 28, 2005 by farehamtrialsmassive05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishy Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 I have the maxxis mo-fos and they don't even compare to the maxxis high rollers, amazing tyres, get them, btw with all the maxxis tyres i've had i've only had 2 punctures, one was from riding through glass and theother was from being slashed.joefish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MesaMan Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 I use em on the rear, seem OK gut they're the only trials tyre I've ever had (only been riding trials 5mths). There are two compounds, although I think the ones with the orange bindings are the slightly harder ones.Go for em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUnK KiD Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 theres 3 compunds,the one with the orange stripe round is the 60a which is a very hard compound, there is also a 42a super tacky trye and 40a slow reezay tyre.Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el curevo Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 (edited) The highroller is a great all round tyre but the 60a compund could be a bit hard and not grip that well.. If i were you i would ask them to order a super tacky. But a better tyre for trials are the maxxis minions in 42a super tacky. These grip really really well and i see alot of people using them. Don't go for slow reezey as i think they are way to soft, and wont last 5 minuts on the road. The slow reezey tyres are off road use only if you want them to last. (Just for a note, the reason they super tacky tyres and the slow reezey tyres dont have the orange band on them is because the compound of the tyres are too soft and maxxis couldn't get the orange band to stick. ) Edited December 30, 2005 by el curevo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
