XC race grip for wet and muddy conditions.
The Maxxis Severe is designed for cross-country races when the tracks turn wet and muddy. Its widely spaced, spiky knobs are made to find grip in soft ground while helping prevent mud from packing into the tread.
The MaxxSpeed compound is designed for efficient rolling and wet traction. EXO sidewall protection helps resist cuts and abrasion, while the 120 TPI Tubeless Ready casing keeps the focus on XC racing.

Who Is It For?
The Severe suits XC racers looking for a tyre for wet race days and soft tracks. Its specialist mud tread makes the most sense when conditions call for extra bite.
Our Thoughts
If your race calendar continues through a Canterbury winter, the Severe is worth having for the wet days. For dry, hard-packed tracks, a lower-profile XC tyre may be the better choice.
