Only 185g open tire-MAXXIS NEW HIGH ROAD!

Upgraded body curtain yarn: 120 TPI>>170TPI, lower rolling resistance, lighter weight, better comfort, and improved over-bending grip.
Upgraded stab-resistant material: K2>>ZK Liquid crystal polymer fiber (Liquid crystal), increased puncture resistance.
Updated tread design: fine lines and rough surface increase the grip of dry ground over bending, and the design of broken film on both sides of tire edge improves wet grip
Updated TR structure technology: excellent satiety, lighter weight, softer body and better comfort (this is the tubeless model Technology)
Small knowledge of outer tire: the number of curtain yarn represents the number of woven fabrics contained in each inch, in TPI, in white words, weaving density, lower TPI (filling more rubber) it can provide better puncture prevention, cutting prevention and abrasion resistance, and its disadvantage is that it is heavier; Higher TPI (less rubber) has better terrain adaptability, providing a more stable and comfortable sense of road, and it is lighter, but because more woven fabrics need to be incorporated into the same unit, a thinner, smaller and thinner curtain yarn is needed, so the matrix will be softer, therefore, the stab-resistant effect will be relatively poor.

From the technical highlights of the NEW HIGHROAD upgrade, it is not difficult to see that MAXXIS's intention in this product update is to tell car friends that "we have listened to your feedback on the first generation of HIGHROAD." In order to have lower rolling resistance and faster reaction acceleration, it is upgraded to 170TPI, and at the same time, lighter amount also brings more comfortable feeling, but because higher TPI may reduce stab-resistant performance, therefore, ZK's stab-resistant structure is adopted as reinforcement to achieve balanced positioning.

The first generation of HIGHROAD has excellent over-bending stability. It is quite comfortable to ride on dry wetlands. It will not worry about the rear wheel slipping when driving on steep slopes, and the shock absorption effect is very good, however, it has a relatively obvious deficiency, which is also reflected by the car friends around, that is, it feels slightly sticky when riding. The instant acceleration reaction feels like a pause.

However, HIGHROAD-SL goes without saying that it is completely born for speed. It is as light as tissue paper weight. Riding is like floating on the ground, but it has the same magical feeling as wear resistance, stab resistance, it may decrease.

The HIGHROAD-SL vacuum version provides a lightweight and more comfortable road feeling in the road bike tire, weighing only 275g vacuum version.

NEW HIGHROAD can be said to be an outer tire that combines the advantages of both.

In terms of rolling resistance, in order to have better dry grip and wet grip performance, rough fine lines and side drainage patterns are added to the tread, so it is not as good as SL, however, you can really feel the difference after the upgrade, without the previous sticky feeling of a generation.

Riding generally fallen into disrepair and decay asphalt particles significantly but the road of moderately driving it on the road surface from the finely divided vibration filtering very in place, of feeling but also SL all of the owned, in addition, ride-on bad roads of the cement concrete pavement or like Snowy Mountains this full of holes of the path, but it is still Generation HIGHROAD good damping effect.

The 185g open tire, which is amazing weight, reflects the performance of climbing and riding and intermittent acceleration. It is more light and does not delay.

All of the above can be attributed to the higher 170TPI, as well as the tread design that balances rolling resistance and grip, but as mentioned earlier, high TPI may affect the performance of puncture prevention. In order to strengthen this aspect, it is different from K2 of the first generation and upgraded to ZK's puncture prevention structure (generally only used in tube tire)

Based on the above measured performance of NEW HIGH ROAD, it is a NEW generation first-class tire with obvious positioning and real name. If the event you want to participate in is a mixed terrain and the event distance is long, the road conditions are relatively uncertain, especially there are many over-bending, sliding and poor roads. It can be included in one of your first choices. Of course, it is also quite recommended for long-distance travel or usual training.

As said at the beginning, there is no so-called all-round tire, only in the production and manufacture of a choice, strive to reach the balance of performance, and this balance is in line with personal needs, NEW HIGH ROAD is the most moderate solution. If you want to pursue the ultimate speed performance, SL will be your choice. If you want to buy a tire, it will not be broken for a long time, for the puncture-proof outer tire, you can choose to practice the tire.
