"After putting in a few Hundred kilometres on the new Maxxis Reaver Gravel Tyres across a range of terrain I am impressed!

They roll super-fast yet still offer plenty of traction when the terrain changes.

I’ve ridden them on a couple big gravel loops around Christchurch ranging from tar-seal, smooth gravel, sand and a decent amount of mud with no issues at all.

There’s enough grip from the side knobs to offer support when ripping round single-track in the forest. Plenty of tyre traction when riding the gravel with the trusty Maxxis Puncher Protection.

If you want a fast rolling gravel tyre that can still handle some off the beaten track adventures that isn’t as aggressive as. Rambler, then the Reaver is for you!"
