Fast rolling for firm trails and everyday riding.
The Maxxis New Pace is a cross-country tyre designed for speed on hardpack, gravel paths and groomed surfaces. Its small, closely spaced knobs help keep rolling resistance low, while raised side knobs provide support through corners.
This is the wire-bead version, making it a practical and affordable replacement tyre for mountain bikes that continue to use inner tubes.
Key Features
- Designed for cross-country and firm trail riding
- Low-profile, closely spaced knobs for efficient rolling
- Raised side knobs provide support through corners
- Wire-bead construction
- Designed for use with an inner tube
- Available in 27.5″ × 2.10 and 27.5″ × 2.25 sizes
Choose Your Size
- 27.5″ × 2.10: The narrower option for efficient rolling and bikes with less tyre clearance
- 27.5″ × 2.25: A wider option that provides a little more cushioning and tyre volume on compatible bikes
Select your preferred size from the dropdown. Check the sizing printed on your current tyre and confirm frame and fork clearance before ordering, particularly if moving to the wider option.
Who Is It For?
The New Pace suits riders looking for a quick-rolling, affordable tyre for dry cross-country tracks, gravel paths, commuting and general recreational riding. It is particularly useful for older 27.5″ mountain bikes that continue to use conventional inner tubes.
Our Thoughts
The New Pace makes sense when most of your riding is on firm, relatively smooth surfaces and outright grip in mud is not the priority. The low tread rolls easily on hardpack and sealed sections, while the side knobs provide useful support through corners. For loose, wet or more technical trails, we would choose a tyre with a deeper and more open tread pattern.
