Maxxis Supermaxx ST has been developed for a wide range of middleweight and heavyweight sport touring motorcycles, with ongoing testing and feedback from British Superbike and World Superbike racing legend Chris 'Stalker' Walker.
The new Maxxis Supermaxx ST delivers the very latest in radial construction technology, utilising an all-new design which features mono-spiral steel belts for improved structural rigidity, resulting in truly outstanding cornering performance.
Stiffer sidewalls ensure that Supermaxx ST can handle increased loads over previous generations of Supermaxx, reducing sidewall cornering flex and delivering the secure feel Touring riders demand.
Outright grip is delivered through Maxxis industry leading Silica Plus Compound technology. Nano-Silica is blended with modified rubber compounds and ultra-fine particles of carbon black. The resulting sport touring compound delivers outstanding grip in varied weather conditions and a consistent wear rate on long distance tours.
Advanced 3-D Sipes further enhance grip in wet road conditions, and eliminate uneven tread wear, locking tread blocks together under load to maintain stiffness in the tread compound.
The Supermaxx ST features an advanced V-groove tread pattern with an intensive groove design to expel standing water from the contact patch, maintaining consistent handling characteristics in varied road conditions, wet or dry.
Compared to Maxxis long-standing Supermaxx, the Supermaxx STs larger contact area, stiffer carcass and improved tread compound deliver:
- 21% increase in camber grip
- 40% increase in footprint at 40 degrees of lean angle
- 15% increase in wet grip
- 20% increase in mileage performance
