  • Unbeatable street tire
Size: 20x1.95 Style: 1 Pack
20s on my EBMX are indestructible! 0 flats in 4 years. Roll fast, quiet and SOOO much grip. Surprisingly good off-road for what they are.

  • Perfect upgrade for my eBike. Amazing tire!
Size: 26x2.50 Style: 1 Pack
We kept having the rear tire blow out, due to eBikes weighing more and going faster than their traditional counterparts. Got dangerous. Went through several tires and tubes. Finally, got a Hookworm. Solved the issue. It's slightly larger than the recommended 2.30" width stock tire. But fits. Huge improvement in handling and ride comfort. Also, most importantly, it doesn't blow out under heavy load. Super awesome tire for a heavy e-bike used daily. Love it. It also looks super cool btw. Nice touch. Thank you Maxxis! ... show more

  • Excellent performance and quick delivery
Size: 27.5x2.50 Style: 1 Pack
I like supporting my local bike shop but often had to order tubes and tires and the order would take over a month to arrive!! I appreciated getting the item in a reasonable time and it is a good quality, in fact, haven’t needed to replace tube since!! Before, VERY frequent flats.. I guess the tire was too worn or something. ... show more

  • Great tire for road and paved/hardpack trails.
Size: 26x2.50 Style: 1 Pack
These tires are on a 26" Fuji Nevada 1.9 Hard-Tail that I have added hydraulic disc brakes too. The front wheel is stock (Vera Terra 26 and the rear wheel is aftermarket (Sun Rhyno Lite 26), more on that later. Overall I have been very happy with these wheels. After mounting them, I took them down a paved trail near my house and on some hardpack dirt/clay trails. They had no problem delivering good grip when cornering and rolled very smooth although these tires are mainly for use on the street and that is where the majority of my review on their use is derived from. I ride/drive a pedi-cab on the weekends. If you are not familiar with them they are basically a trailer with 2 bicycle wheels on it that attaches to a hitch you clamp to the seatpost of a bike. The trailer is about the same length as a 26" mountain bike and mine has 2x 20" BMX wheels on the back with 2 bench seats that can seat 4-6 people comfortably (although I have had 8 people in it at once). I mention this because as you can imagine the trailer may hold 800-1000lbs of passengers PLUS the weight of the trailer itself being about 100lbs. This weight is distributed between the rear trailer tires and the bikes rear tire (this is the reason for the upgraded rear wheel to handle the additional load). I estimate about 40% of the load to be on the rear bike wheel/tire, although this will vary depending on where the people sit and how much they weigh. With that out of the way... These tires are rated for 65psi max. I run that in the front, but run the rear wheel at 80psi. I use whatever tubes are on sale when I need them and run these same pressures/loads with all of them. These tires replaced standard no-name knobbie tires the bike came with them I bought it. The Hookworms roll incredibly smooth, even over rougher asphalt. Even at max air poressure and beyond they allow the bike to coast noticeably easier as well as virtually being virtually silent. The rear tire holds the weight of myself (220lbs) and my loaded trailer (up to 1200lbs+) very well. These tires deliver great grip on concrete and asphalt even when the roads are wet. The extra width (26x2.5) of the tire combined with the fact that the fact that its dimpled surface wraps around almost the entire tire makes the contact patch very stable. For comparison, my old tires were 26x2 and the knobs only ran to the edge of the "normal" contact patch. When there was additional weight added, the way the tire flattened out the smooth sidewall would rub on the ground (occasionally) and the part of the tire on the road would grow in length (front-to-back), this would caused additional load on the wheel and I think (purely assumption) that it was bending spokes. Now the wider tire seems to bulge out sideways under load and the texture wrapping around keeps the sidewall off the ground, this also means the load on the wheel doesn't grow in length and I have not had my wheels go out of true since running them (had been very frequent prior to installing these). About the difference in wheels: The front tire on the stock Vera-Terra was very easy to install, I do not even need to use levers to mount/dismount the tire, I can do it by hand. Even so, the tire holds its bead well and although I have had some flats, none had been from the tube getting pinched. The rear tire on the aftermarket Sun wheel is very hard to install. Even with extra-long steel levers, mounting the tire takes quite a bit of work, to the point that I was worried about damaging the tire/rim. I have since gotten more comfortable with it (and have never done any damage to the rim or tire). Being that I ride an urban area with a lot of bars, there is a tremendous amount of broken glass so I have had these tires on and off many times. Even though both wheels are the same size, the Sun rim has a much stiffer/thicker lip that its just a slight bit taller and I think that is where the increased difficulty in installing them comes from. One last thing to note, when they say 26x2.5 they mean it, these tires are FAT (in a good way). They look awesome on the bike but be warned, they are quite a bit wider than a 26x2 ... more that it might seem like. The clearance against my frame with the old tires was enough to squeeze a pinkie into, now it is about as much clearance as a house-key is thick (on my Fuji Nevada 1.9). Had I been using rim brakes I am not sure they would have fit with these tires. Being that I use hydraulic discs this was not an issue for me, but just check what your clearance is like. I would make sure you have at least 1/4-1/2 inch anywhere a 26x2 tires come close to the frame or any components. TL:DR - These tires roll smooth, have good grip on pavement both wet and dry, had no problems handing extreme weight/loads, and can be run at high pressure. Plus, they are fat and look sick on the bike. ... show more

  • Excellent tire for e-bike doing Uber and DoorDash deliveries Excellent tire for e-bike doing Uber and DoorDash deliveries

The Hookworm tire is awesome for e-bike deliveries. It’s super fast, smooth, and really helps extend battery life since you’re not fighting as much resistance. Perfect for UberEats and DoorDash—plus it lasts a long time even with daily use.

  • Roll good, no flats yet. Edit! Still rolling strong after 10+ months and thousands of miles
Size: 20x1.95 Style: 1 Pack
Using the Maxxis Hookworms on a Greenspeed Recumbent trike that has a powerful electric assist. Doing fine at 30+mph. Seem well balanced and fit nicely, roll easily. Time will tell about wear and puncture resistance. My other identical trike has Schwalbe electric bike speed rated tires (rated for 50kph) on it and they seem to ride similarly. Difference is that the Schwalbe tires have reflective sidewalls and their top of the line puncture resistence. I may update after some long term testing. Here is my update. I have not even had to pump these up using Fenix tubes. I can't believe it as my Schwalbe tubes and tires need filling on a regular basis. Also, unlike my high dollar Schwalbe tubes and tires... I have not had ANY flats this year. NONE. I am not seeing any noticeable wear in them after a couple of thousand miles and I am cornering hard enough to slide a bit on them. They are standing up to regular speeds of over 30mph and me tossing my trike around like a drift cart. I now know why these are stock on some recumbent trikes... they just work. I have not done any roll down tests or compared their max cornering ability in relation to my Schwalbe E-bike tires rated for 50kph... but I'm not really concerned about shaving a couple of seconds off a ride time vs. spending time on the side of the road fixing flats like I'm used to. Highly recommend! ... show more
