The Maxxis Rambler Gravel Tyre 700x45c is built for riders who want to roll fast on gravel while still feeling confident when the surface gets loose. It is a wide, high-volume gravel tyre that helps smooth out rough roads, improve grip, and keep your ride feeling controlled over long distances.

This is the sort of tyre that makes mixed terrain rides feel easier and more enjoyable. It shines on hardpack gravel, country backroads, rail trails, and light dirt, giving you a balance of speed on the flats and enough traction when conditions change.

Who is this gravel tyre for?

Ideal for riders who spend a lot of time on gravel roads, bikepacking routes, or mixed surface commutes. It suits anyone who wants extra comfort from a wider tyre, better puncture protection, and confidence when riding beyond sealed roads.

Who is this not for?

Not the best choice if you mostly ride smooth bitumen and want a fast, slick road feel. It is also not designed for aggressive mud riding or technical MTB trails where a more open tread and heavier casing would be better.

Why we love it

We have found the Rambler hits a sweet spot for everyday gravel riding. Our favourite part is how it rolls surprisingly quickly for a 45c tyre while still soaking up bumps and giving a planted feel on loose surfaces.

Hot tip!

Pairing this with a quality gravel tube and running slightly lower pressures will noticeably improve comfort and grip.
