MaxxisReaver 700c Gravel Tire(Return to Product Page)

Although BicycleRollingResistence.com measured the Reaver as only marginally faster than the Rambler despite Maxxis' claims, I could definitely feel the difference on tarmac. It simply rolled smoother and quieter with the reduced center tread. It also felt like it spun up a little quicker even though weights were about the same. Once on chunky gravel, however, I can't say that I noticed any perceptible improvement. I will race it soon and see if it gives me wings. I paid close to full price as I am often an "early adapter" and I bit on the Maxxis hype. I would wait for a better sale if you are in the market for some new meats.

Great tire for dry hardpack, very good for dry loose. No chance to try them in the mud, but I don�t think they�ll be worth a damn there.

Light, so far good puncture resistance and fast. Mounted up super easy.

Underwhelming at first, but once scrubbed in they seems to glide over asphalt with less effort than Ramblers, which were previously my favorite tire. The minimum pressure recommended, even at the 45mm width, is 35 PSI; a little hard for chunky gravel, but not a bad compromise for mixed surface riding.

Easy to put on rim hold air pressure great rolling resistance

I usually run a 2.1 ThunderBurt which I like a lot. I wanted a tire that was better on mixed surface and smoother gravel. This is it. Great road manners! I still prefer the TB's for rougher gravel/single track.......even though I haven't used them since mounting these.

Easiest tubeless install of any tire yet, popped right on and sealed right away. Have ridden on loose over hard, chunk, pavement, and mud and it�s been spectacular on all but the mud. Great product, great buying experience.

Went with the 40mm on 303s wheels which netted a 41mm width.

Rides like a mix between a pathfinder and a Ravager. Smooth enough center tread to carry speed, and enough shoulder to keep you upright in the corners. My new go to tire.

Lightweight, fast rolling and, so far, reliable tire for medium gravel. Haven't tried in mud but that's not what I ride anyway.

Solid wheel for all my gravel needs. Good grip and not too heavy. Will buy it again when I wear this one out.

I was previously on Gravelking SK's in 38. I have way more confidence cornering on gravel with these. Marginally better bite when climbing as well. Smooth rolling on pavement. I got one flat after chunking a very large rock at about 20mph. The tire bit on my rim and flatted while running tubeless. However, I don't think it has anything to do with durability rather than user error. All around a great choice.
