Pick up the Pace! The Pace was designed to meet the needs of our World Cup XC racers. The Maxxis Pace uses small, tightly spaced knobs to create a tire with low rolling resistance. While originally intended for XC use, the Pace has proven to work well for slopestyle, pump track, and dirt jumping. - Ideal for hardpack XC courses - Low-profile tread design A high-volume, low-profile tread design offers minimal rolling resistance and consistent traction across the profile of the tire. Continuous side knobs keep you planted where traction is critical, and the single compound balances traction and tread wear.
