MAXXIS MOUNTAIN - ASPEN ST - 32x2.40 - MaxxSpeed/EXO/TR - Foldable 120 TPI E50

The Maxxis Aspen ST is a high-performance cross-country race tire, specifically developed for maximum speed in dry, fast conditions. This tire, sometimes called the “Fastpen,” features an ultra-low-profile tread design to prioritize rolling efficiency, rapid acceleration, and responsiveness for competitive riders. Originally a professional-only option, the Aspen ST is now available to a wider market, allowing everyday riders to experience World Cup-winning technology. Who It’s For The Aspen ST is ideal for cross-country racers and riders who prioritize outright speed and low rolling resistance on hard-packed, dry terrain. It excels in short track XC racing and conditions where a large contact patch is more beneficial than aggressive tread. This tire is suitable for riders looking for a fast-rolling rear tire or even as a gravel tire on suitable frames. Who It’s Not For While exceptionally fast, the Aspen ST may not be the best choice for riders frequently encountering loose, wet, muddy, or highly technical terrain, where braking and cornering traction might be compromised due to its minimal tread pattern. Riders prioritizing maximum grip and durability over sheer speed in challenging conditions might find more aggressive tread patterns like the Maxxis Recon Race more suitable.
