Maxxis

I use this on my Niner RLT Gravel Bike for commuting down bike paths, gravel roads, and a little bit of loose rock. I had Specialized Pathfinder Pro's on my bike, which were great tires. I was looking for something a little bit more aggressive and higher volume for the loose terrain I ride on without losing rolling speed. I switched from 700X38 Pathfinders to 700X45 Ramblers. The width wasn't quite 7mm more but the volume is noticebly more than my old tires. The bike rides smoother over broken pavement, loose gravel, and curbs. I don't notice any additional rolling resistance and the small knobs don't make much noise or slow the bike dow. So far, no flats or cuts. 5 stars so far. Great tire and with the sale price, free shipping, and rewards points I applied, they turned out to be a great buy thanks to BikeTiresDirect.

I run the Maxxis Rambler 700c in both 45mm and 50mm widths. They have been my go-to tire for recreational riding and racing. The moment you hit the gravel, the tire delivers much better grip and performance than its understated looks would suggest. The rounded tread pattern and sidewall really make a difference when cornering in lose gravel or on asphalt. The Rambler is absolutely convincing and confidence inspiring on the trail. It conquers muddy climbs and navigates slippery corners like no other tire, turning my bikes into a monster gravel bike. BTD tech staff was awesome in helping me chose these tires. Always very pleased with the Rambler and BTD

Was looking for a good quality tire to replace worn out, 7-year old WTB Nano tires on my Motobecane gravel bike. Maxxis Ramblers are the perfect tire for rail trail riding. Good on hard packed gravel, dirt or asphalt. Surprisingly fast on pavement, but not quite road bike, slick tire fast. Very impressed with these 700 x40 tires. Already have 100+ miles on them and they should last for many miles and years to come. Highly recommended tire for rail trail riding. A+

Mounted on Hunt EnduroWide 2 front rim (33mm ID) with Rimpact inserts the tire measures 2.44" (62mm) at the casing and 2.5" (63.5) at the widest knob. So Maxxis tire true to spec, WTF?

As a side note, the Rimpact inserts have been the easiest to install. Using the proper technique and a little soapy water spray, the tire with insert slipped right on. I did not need a tire lever, all by hand. I'm 65 years old, so hand strength ain't what it used to be.

And as always BTD is prompt to ship and accurate.
