Maxxis Tyre Rambler 700x40C Skinwall Exo/TR/DSW

The Maxxis Rambler 700x40C Skinwall EXO Tubeless Ready Tyre is a versatile gravel tyre designed for riders who want a balance of speed, comfort, and control on mixed terrain. As one of Maxxis’ first gravel-specific designs, it has become a popular choice for everything from fast gravel racing to long-distance endurance rides.

Its tread pattern features tightly packed, ramped centre knobs for efficient rolling on hardpack and tar, while more widely spaced side knobs provide predictable grip when cornering on loose gravel or dirt roads.

The tyre uses a Dual Compound rubber construction, combining a firmer centre for durability and speed with softer side knobs for improved traction in corners.

Built with EXO sidewall protection, the Rambler offers added resistance to cuts and abrasions—ideal for rough gravel roads and light trail use. The Tubeless Ready (TR) design allows you to run lower pressures for better grip, improved comfort, and reduced risk of punctures.

The skinwall (tan sidewall) finish not only reduces weight slightly but also gives your bike a clean, modern gravel aesthetic.
