The wait is over—Maxxis High Roller III tires are now available! Building on the legendary performance of its predecessors, the latest version brings enhanced traction, stability, and control to the most demanding trails. Designed with input from top World Cup downhill racers, the High Roller III features a refined tread pattern for optimal grip in loose, mixed, and technical conditions. Whether you’re charging steep descents or railing corners at high speed, this tire is built to keep you in control. Read on to see the available options and to find out what makes the High Roller III a must-have for aggressive riders.
The Maxxis High Roller III is the latest evolution in the High Roller series, designed to excel in mixed and variable trail conditions. Developed with input from World Cup downhill athletes, this tire features an aggressive tread pattern that balances traction and rolling efficiency.
Key Features:
Tread Design: The High Roller III utilizes a mid-spike center tread similar to the Shorty but with lower knob height, allowing for excellent soil penetration in soft, loose, or dusty conditions while maintaining stability on harder surfaces. The large, well-supported side knobs enhance cornering traction, providing predictable handling.
Compound and Casing Options: Initially available in the 3C MaxxGrip rubber compound paired with a Downhill (DH) casing, the High Roller III offers superior grip and durability for aggressive riding. Additional casing options are now available such as DoubleDown (DD) and EXO+. This caters to enduro racers and trail riders seeking lighter alternatives.
Size and Weight: The tire is offered in both 27.5″ and 29″ diameters with a 2.4″ width. Here is breakdown of the weights:
- High Roller III 27.5 x 2.4″ WT 3C MaxxGrip TR DH Casing Tire – 1335 grams
- High Roller III 27.5 x 2.4″ WT 3C MaxxGrip TR DD Tire – 1225 grams
- High Roller III 29 x 2.4″ WT 3C MaxxGrip TR DH Casing Tire – 1400 grams
- High Roller III 29 x 2.4″ WT 3C MaxxGrip TR EXO+ Tire – 1145 grams
- High Roller III 29 x 2.4″ WT 3C MaxxGrip TR DD Tire – 1299 grams
Performance Insights:
Riders have reported that the High Roller III performs exceptionally well across a range of conditions, from dry hardpack to wet and muddy terrains. Its open tread pattern facilitates efficient mud shedding, and the sturdy side knobs provide reliable support during high-speed cornering. While the tire offers substantial grip, some riders note a slight trade-off in rolling resistance compared to less aggressive tread patterns.
In summary, the Maxxis High Roller III is a versatile tire suitable for riders seeking dependable performance in diverse trail conditions, particularly those involving loose or variable terrain.
