MaxxisRambler 700c Gravel Tire(Return to Product Page)

It appears that Maxxis has addressed one of the complaints concerning mounting of the Rambler. Out of the box the rambler has an open U shape making it easier to set up tubeless. I was expecting a struggle but the tire popped on easily in contrast to the first tire from 2016. Thanks Maxxis for the improvement to this already great tire.

Smooth rolling tire on road and hard-pack. Great traction in the corners on gravel.

I really like this one in the winter. It wears pretty easily on pavement but is excellent for gravel and light mud.

Tires ride well -- mounted easily -- tubeless

I have these set up tubeless on my gravel Bike and love riding any surface from pavement to trails to gravel. They feel great and have plenty of traction.

Overall great traction and puncture protection. Tire is definitely catered towards hardback to loose over hard conditions.

These tires feel faster yet more supple than my previous Gravel Kings

Very easy install, fast rolling tire, looks very sharp on my bike.

rolls on the pavement but pretty gripy in the sand/gravel.

Out of 4 tires- I could only get 1 to mount without any wobble in it- not good odds. Went back to gravelking sk- which IMO is in the same category of tire, no problems and a better value.

Durable and just a freaking good tire!!

Love these tires, I ride very hard and fast, these tires take whatever I throw at them!!

This is a great tire for the cost...

Solid choice for most situations.

Ran the 45mm silk shield at the DK200 this weekend. They were fantastic! May have been luck, but I suffered no flats. Easy to mount up. This is a confidence inspiring tire.

These worked well on the Ruby Roubaix. 38s don't float enough on soft, deep gravel, but everywhere else I was rolling well with little resistance at 35 PSI. I got a pinhole leak on the rear late in the ride but never noticed it! Then I saw some sealant on the bottom of the seat bag. You could reduce pressure but the ride was 50% hardpack dirt or good pavement.

Got these installed new on a Lauf true grit. I've ridden the bike for a week (about 115 miles) and both tires have blown out on totally separate rides, necessitating tubes to get me home (one a top tread puncture that didn't plug with sealant the other a very small sidewall pinch that I didn't notice at all until I looked down and saw sealant oozing out of the tire). I'm not huge (180lbs), didn't ride these over fields of glass, and haven't had any issues with the other gravel tires I've used extensively the last couple years (mostly gravelkings), and while I run Maxxis on my MTB, I think these are the weakest gravel tires I've yet ridden on and won't be looking at Maxxis for gravel in the future. The rubber is very soft and the sidewalls weak from my very limited experience on them. If you stay on pavement, or hardpack, you may be fine, but I fear any rougher gravel may be too much for these in many cases. Playing with pressure, when at about 35-38psi, these were bouncy and slippery on loose gravel, and when deflated and run at 27-32psi, they are mush, but grip a little better as long as you're riding straight. It's unfortunate as I'm having to replace both tires on a brand new bike that wasn't cheap. I would not suggest these tires at all, but of course, ymmv.

A fair amount of weeping on the sidewalls using Orange Seal but once totally sealed, the tires run very smooth and fast on pavement and dirtgravel. Coming from a 32mm filetread, these in 38 add a lot of comfort. So far only a few hundred miles, been very happy with these tire!

Great gravel tire for use on roads and packed trails.

I'm not a racer, but am instead looking for good safe traction with reliable cornering and grip - These tires up the confidence game so much on my gravel bike. Love them!
