“The angled grooves not only increase the tyres surface area, they allow the tread to move around, forcing heat in to the rubber to create grip. After a day on track and a road ride, the Maxxis tyre performed at least as well as Bridgestone BT-023s or Dunlop Roadsmarts yet do so at a saving of around £60.” Jon Urry, RiDE Magazine

“The new diamond-tread shoulder design might appear an aesthetic gimmick, but Maxxis has proven it increases the tyres contact area by M6017compressing the surface-proud diamond Traxxershapes into the ground and squidging the rubber out to create a bigger footprint. The Supermaxx Diamond gave me nothing but consistent grip and feel around the drenched Portimao track. What impressed me was just how much grip was available. I had the bike decking out through the corners while the tyres took all the abuse I could throw at them.” Bruce Wilson, Motorcycle Monthly

“The new Maxxis just felt like any other good road tyre on the road. High-speed straight and banked stability was excellent, turn in neutral and progressive. I didn't notice any sensation of movement from the diamond-treaded tread edges either like we had under the more extreme loadings on the race track. Put simply, I road like a bit of a twunt, rode steadily and rode everywhere in between those two extremes and didn't notice the tyres at all. What more do you want from a tyre (apart from good mileage)? Don't turn your nose up at these tyres out of some kind of weird (and misplaced) tyre prejudice. Give them a try. Seeing as they're roughly 20% cheaper than the bigger brands, you could probably afford to do just that...” Mark Forsyth, Visordown

“I spent a full day ragging around Portimao (a tough circuit for any tyre), digging pegs into the abrasive surface on a variety of bikes, and generally riding like a loon once I’d acclimatised to their unique approach and feel and I’m still standing.

Supermaxx DIAMOND

Maxxis’ MA-3DS Supermaxx Diamond – Sports Touring Radial – Features an eye catching diamond shoulder tread pattern, incorporating brand new micro-pore technology to generate additional heat when combined with Maxxis’ new ‘Ultra R’ tread compound to deliver outstanding levels of dry traction and wet weather grip. The unique high tension carcass construction incorporates jointless mono spiral Kevlar® belts which increase carcass strength and maintain

“It’s a big ask to expect any sports-touring tyre to handle the stresses of a fast and technically demanding track like Portimao, Portugal, but the Supermaxx Diamonds performed very well. The overall grip level front and rear is impressive and they’re stable under hard braking and acceleration. As you lean onto the diamond tread pattern you can feel the tyre ‘moving’ slightly and you don’t get the solid feeling of a ‘normal’ tyre. But once you’re used to this sensation it’s fine.”
