MAXXIS tires Velocita 700 x 40C DualCompound TR SilkShield
The Velocita is a smooth-rolling, high-volume, mixed-surface slick tire.
Based on the Velocita tube tire for racing bikes, Maxxis has taken the well-known profile design and widened it for the Velocita AR (All-Road). The diamond profile in the center of the tire transitions into a lamellar profile at the edges, which provides safety and stability when cornering. Riders looking for a lightweight, fast-rolling, high-volume slick tire for gravel or a do-it-all bike should look no further than the Velocita AR.
Tubeless Ready (TR)
tube tires have many advantages: You can drive with less air pressure. This gives better traction and reduces rolling resistance. And where there is no tube , the risk of punctures is also reduced. MAXXIS TR tires are better prepared for mounting with sealant than other tubeless ready tires. The bead of the TR tires is completely covered with a rubber layer like a real UST tubeless tube . As a result, tube installation is successful for all rims with standard dimensions the first time you pump it up and with little liquid. Normal MAXXIS MTB tires can also be mounted tubeless with sealant like tires from other manufacturers, as the carcass fabric is very dense. However, only the new MAXXIS TR models are officially approved for tubeless assembly and guaranteed by MAXXIS. The tubeless assembly of other models is at your own risk.
Note: We strongly advise against the use of sealant containing ammonia. Ammonia has been shown to attack the carcass and, depending on the amount used, can weaken it by up to 30% after just a few months.
DualCompound
Two different rubber compounds are processed into a tread strip. We plan the arrangement of the mixtures according to the desired properties of the tires.
SilkShield
SilkShield provides Silkworm protection all around, from rim to rim, preventing cuts and other defects on tire sidewalls and under the tread.
