28 x 33: In European sizing, 28-inch refers to a standard 700c road/cyclocross wheel diameter. The 33mm width is the maximum tire size officially allowed under Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) competitive cyclocross regulations.
Raze: The specific tread model family by Maxxis. It features widely spaced, low-profile center knobs for low rolling resistance, paired with aggressive shoulder blocks to dig into sloppy corners.
120 (120 TPI Casing): Built on a premium, high-density 120 TPI (threads per inch) carcass. This supple construction allows the tire to conform perfectly to uneven terrain, providing maximum mechanical traction at low tire pressures.
Sc (Single Compound): Uses a uniform rubber compound across the entire tread profile, optimized for balanced tread wear and consistent grip across changing trail conditions.
Sw (Silkworm): Features Maxxis' proprietary Silkworm breaker layer built into the casing directly beneath the tread. This protective material increases puncture and tear resistance to shield your tubes from sharp rocks and thorns.
Mud Clearance: The open, widely spaced tread pattern is specifically engineered to throw off sticky mud and debris rapidly, ensuring the knobs stay clear and functional during messy winter races.
Bead Profile: Constructed as a lightweight, flexible Folding Bead (aramid/Kevlar), which minimizes critical rotational weight for fast acceleration out of slow corners.
Average Weight: Approximately 355 grams, making it exceptionally competitive for an armored mud-shedding cyclocross tire.
Maximum Pressure: Rated up to 75 PSI
