Maxxis Torch - Single Compound - 29" - Silkworm - Lightweight Construction for BMX Or Trail Racing

Seems fine

I got these thinking they would be good for the streets. NOPE! Turns out these are lightweight tires made for RACING. Very little resistance against punctures. I’ve never had more flats in my life. 19$ walmart tires far more durable and reliable. Only get these tires for their intended purpose, racing on clean paved surfaces. Don’t ride them on gravel. I got a huge half inch gash in these tires from gravel. Seriously I’ve used a lot of tires and i can’t understate how fragile and puncture ridden these tires are. USE A GOOD SEALANT!! You have been warned 🤣😅

These tires are used as replacements for the Schwalbe Rapid Rob's my 29er Cannondale F-SI Alloy came with as I don't off road this bike very much but wanted to keep the characteristics as much as possible. Most true 29er semi slicks are quite heavy but these are among the lightest. They corner and grip quite well on road and hard packed surfaces and pleasantly surprised me on loose sand when aired down. Mud and wet grass are off limits however. When aired down the sidewalls flex and as they are thin I wouldn't recommend using these on forest trails anyway. Rolling resistance and noise are noticeably less then off road tires. I cannot comment on their durability and general wear resistance yet but for their intended use these Maxxis' cannot be beaten as far as I'm informed.Update: After 9 months of use I've had no flat yet and the treads are still almost as good as new. I ride my bike 2x a week. Very pleased with this product.

I got these for my kid's mountain bike since we were going on a long road ride. They are nice tires and worked well, but as others have said they do tend to catch and throw small rocks/large sand. They are also quite heavy, but seem thick and like they will hold up well. Overall with close to 100 miles on them we are happy.

Highly Recomend! Doesn't loose speed when on an almost horizontal lean (BMX racing tire origins)and feels very stable when doing so at 20mph+. Fast up right also. Some grip on hardpack and loose (be cautious), but feels predictable and wants to drift when it breaks loose. (gets you through dirt sections, as apposed to a slick sliding out from under you) Best weight by far compared to other urban assault tires. Thorns don't seem to penitrate but an industrial type staple braced upright did (slime in tube sealed it, tires fine). I think that staple would have penetrated anything. Treads wearing well. Stiffer feel interms of confort compared to wtb nano a fast rolling xc tire but not nearly as fun leaning and "shredding" pavment. Tourch is faster upright too but not by a huge margian.Very Impressed. (running 58psi) Have fun.

Absolutely great product and have enjoyed every ride since I installed them.

smooth, quite and light

Not durable. A small grass sticker shouldn’t puncture tire. Crappy tire for a BMX.
