Introducing the Maxxis Dissector, a "unicorn" tire with a center tread design that carried speed easily but with edge blocks worthy of world-class cornering speed. Designed in conjunction with Australian DH racer Troy Brosnan, the Dissector seeks to minimize drag while retaining cornering control.

The Dissector center knobs are all heavily ramped to minimize drag, but retain sharp, flat edges along their backs to provide strong braking traction. Small sipes give the knobs additional flexion, increasing their surface area during braking and aiding the transition to the edge blocks when cornering. A distinct channel along either side of the center knobs along with ample spacing between all lugs that helps to clear debris.

This versatile tire can be used as a front, a pair, or as a rear depending on trail conditions.
