ASPEN ST
The Maxxis Aspen ST is a super-fast, short-track (ST) and cross-country race tire,
optimized for dry, hardpack, and grassy terrain. It's a sleeker, lower-profile version of the classic Aspen, built
for maximum speed in short-distance, high-intensity XC formats like short track and criterium-style MTB races.

Now with New HYPR-X Compound
Maxxis is all-in on gravel for 2025 with a complete refresh across
the range. Highlights include a new casing andgravel-specific HYPR-Xcompound.
The new HYPR-X Compound is the culmination of Maxxis’ rubber
compound development, combining the best elements of our HYPR road and MaxxSpeed mountain compounds.
The result is reduced rolling resistance and improved cornering
traction.
Less resistance to rolling means less resistance to winning!
Ideal For
- Short Track XC Racers who need a super-fast tire with minimal rolling
resistance.
- UCI XC racers or elite riders targeting smooth, dry courses with few
technical features.
- Riders looking for a rear tire to pair with a slightly more aggressive
front (like a Maxxis Rekon Race or Aspen).
- Not ideal for wet, loose, or rocky terrain—best reserved for
race day on groomed tracks.
