Maxxis Trepador M8060 tires are extremely versatile tires that perform just as well on the street as they do racing through the desert and tearing up the trails. They are available in street friendly radial and off-road only completion compound bias models.
The Radial version features a tougher rubber compound and stiffer tire carcass to give it improved road handling and performance while also making it a great choice for off-road desert racing. In fact, one set of off-the-shelf Maxxis Trepador tires completed 1,300 miles of the Baja 1000 without a single failure to win their division. The unique tread pattern provides great traction in dirt, rocks, and even mud and snow thanks to specially arranged lugs that ensure uniform tread contact at all times. Wide voids help the tire self clean of mud and gravel while the plentiful siping improves wet traction and tire flex. A nylon reinforced radial carcass is how the tire is able to survive the punishment of desert racing and maintain such impressive highway and high speed off-road performance.
A Competition Compound (a.k.a. "Sticky") bias ply version is also available for the ultimate in off-road traction. While these tires are still D.O.T. approved, they are not recommended for street use.
