Geoff Kabush’s and John Kirkcaldie’s recent trip to New Zealand was well worth the effort: the two Team Maxxis riders each took victories in the Oceania Championships. Kabush won the cross country portion of the race, while Kirkcaldie took the mountain cross championship title. The event was held March 3-5 in Rotorua, New Zealand.

According to Kabush, the contest was exciting: “The Aussies attacked hard, with Jongo taking a flyer first lap, which I heard he likes to do, and then Sid countered with an impressive effort and had a 45-second lead halfway through the race."

Maxxis’ new line of triple compound downhill tires gives riders what they’ve been demanding: tires that brake better, corner faster and last longer without giving up Maxxis’ legendary puncture and pinch-flat resistance.

To achieve these goals, Maxxis discarded the old thinking about the limits of rubber technology. A simple dual compound tire could offer great grip for braking down the center and slow rebounding on the side lugs for carving corners, but would still allow tall knobs to squirm, making them more susceptible to tearing and chunking off.
