Maxxis Tyre Reaver 700x40 Exo/TLR/120

The Maxxis Reaver 700x40 EXO Tubeless Ready Tyre is a race-focused gravel tyre designed for riders who prioritise speed and efficiency on hardpack and fast gravel roads. Built with a lightweight 120 TPI casing and low-profile tread, it delivers rapid rolling performance while maintaining reliable grip in corners.

At the centre, the Reaver features a diamond-knurled tread pattern that reduces rolling resistance while still providing traction on dusty or loose surfaces. Larger, well-spaced side knobs add control and confidence when cornering at speed, making it a strong choice for competitive gravel riding.

The tyre uses a Dual Compound rubber construction, combining a firmer centre for durability and speed with softer shoulder edges for improved grip. Its EXO sidewall protection helps guard against cuts and abrasions on rough gravel routes, while the Tubeless Ready (TLR) design allows lower pressures for better comfort and puncture resistance.

With its 120 TPI casing, the Reaver offers a more supple ride feel and lower rolling resistance—ideal for long-distance racing and high-speed gravel events.
