Maxxis Tyres 700 X 45 Reaver EXO TLR 120

The Maxxis Reaver 700 x 45 is a gravel and adventure tyre from Maxxis designed for mixed-surface riding where traction and puncture protection matter. Offered in a 700c diameter with a 45mm width, this Reaver variant suits gravel bikes, bikepacking rigs and commuter builds that need a wider contact patch for loose or rough terrain.

Key specifications include the 700 x 45c tyre size, a 120 TPI casing for the 120-marking option, EXO sidewall protection and TLR tubeless-ready construction. The compound option listed as HYPR-X appears on some finishes and a Skinwall aesthetic is available on certain variants. Tubeless-ready (TLR) compatibility allows you to run sealant and lower pressures compared with standard clinchers, while the EXO layer targets sidewall cut resistance on rocky or root-strewn routes.

On gravel rides the Reaver 700 x 45 provides increased traction and stability from the wider 45mm profile, and tubeless setup reduces the risk of pinch flats and lets you run lower pressure for grip without sacrificing rim protection. The EXO reinforcement helps when riding rough tracks or loaded bikepacking setups, and the HYPR-X compound option aims to balance grip and rolling characteristics across mixed surfaces.
