Description

The Maxxis Relix is a lightweight, fast rolling tyre built for speed and efficiency. It was developed with feedback from elite triathletes and time trial riders, and the focus is on keeping rolling resistance low while still giving you reliable grip and durability.

A slick centre tread keeps it quick on smooth tarmac, while the dual compound rubber runs a harder strip down the middle for efficiency and softer shoulders for cornering traction. The 120 TPI casing keeps the ride supple and responsive, and Silkworm puncture protection reinforces the casing under the tread. This is the folding 20 inch version.

Features

Folding 20 inch tyre. A folding bead in 20 inch, so it packs down small for a spare and drops onto a standard 20 inch rim.
Slick centre tread. The smooth centre strip keeps rolling resistance to a minimum for maximum speed on smooth tarmac.
Dual compound rubber. A harder centre strip for efficiency with softer shoulders, so you get more traction when you lean it into a corner.
120 TPI casing. The supple, lightweight casing gives a responsive and smooth ride feel rather than a dead one.
Silkworm puncture protection. A reinforcing layer under the tread adds flat protection without turning the tyre into a heavy trainer.
