In North Vancouver, it’s now deep into fall and a good time to try out tires that do well in mud and rain. I tested the 29 x 2.00 Maxxis Beaver tires on a Santa Cruz Tallboy. Given that I’m not racing, I elected for the slightly heavier and more robust 60TPI Maxxis Beavers.

from Iowa Date Reviewed: March 9, 2012 Strengths: The name says it all - it loves the wet and mud. The soft rubber is able to dig, morph and slog through the trail when Ma Nature has dumped a lot of rain onto the course. Sure footed traction on singletrack when other tires are giving up the ghost. Very light tire as well and perfect for XC racing in the wet. Weaknesses: None that I have found when used for the intended purpose. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Storm Mountain Duration Product Used: 1 Year Purchased At: Maxxis Similar Products Used: Kenda Klaw, IRD FireXC Pro - both used for mud Bike Setup: JET 9 with Stans Crest rims, Beavers mounted tubeless
