Maxxis DH Downhill Bicycle Tube

 

Customer Reviews

I ride XC on a hardtail. I like low tire pressure for the handling and comfort but I was getting pinch flats all the time. My tubes were covered with patches. I was thinking about going tubeless but the setup and maintenance seems like a big pain - and you still have to carry a tube with you in case of a flat. On the suggestion of a friend, I bought these tubes. They're super heavy duty. I run about 20-22 psi in both wheels and after about a dozen rides with these tubes I haven't had a pinch flat yet. I'm 190 so 20 psi is extremely low pressure especially for landing drops. So far so good.
One downside is the weight, although they don't seem that much heavier. I think together they add about 1 lb to the bike. For me the reliability is worth a little extra weight. The other downside is cost ($18/tube!?!?!)
Bottom line: reliable, easy to set up (its just an inner tube after all - just a heavy duty one) and allows really REALLY low pressure. 4 stars instead of 5 due to being really expensive for an inner tube and also for the extra weight.

The Maxxis line of tires are superior, so it comes as no surprise that there tubes are also far more superior than any other brand I have purchased in the past. I run Maxxis Minion DH thick wall tires with the Maxxis DH tubes and no longer get flats due to pinched tubes. Finally!
