“A fast-rolling, low-profile tread design and lightweight construction have quickly made the Reaver the top choice for our elite gravel racers. Keegan Swenson (Santa Cruz htSQD) set a new course record on the Reaver at the grueling Crusher in the Tushar in July, and Andrew L’Esperance (Maxxis Factory Racing) won the Blue Mountains Gravel Fondo with it in June.”
“Compared to the venerable Rambler, the Reaver is faster rolling, lighter and has higher puncture resistance in the tread area. In mixed conditions or deeper gravel, the Rambler is more versatile, but if off-road speed is priority number one, the Reaver is the clear choice.”
- 120 TPI tubeless ready casing
- Dual compound
- EXO sidewall protection
“The Maxxis Reaver is our “go to” tire for gravel racing. Its diamond knurling center tread is low and fast but the Reaver features meaty side knobs for consistent cornering traction. Choose the Reaver when off-road speed is priority number one. ”

EXO Protection

This densely woven fabric is lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tire remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for enhanced durability for gravel, XC, and light-duty trail riding.”

How does it compare to the Maxxis Receptor?
Hello Darryl, not a clue, I have not seen either tyre in person. For now, you’ll need to poke around on the Maxxis website and figure it out.
