Maxxis International USA has introduced the new ultra-high performance Maxxis Victra RC-1.
The DOT-approved R-compound tire was developed "with input from racers and track day enthusiasts," said Maxxis.
The Victra RC-1 “features an aggressive tread pattern that minimizes tread squirm, a special racing compound designed to deliver consistently fast lap times and a body casing that offers great handling response and smooth break-away characteristics,” the tiremaker claimed.
“Maxxis wanted to provide a better solution for the grassroots racers across the country,” said John Wu, assistant product manager. “The RC-1 was designed to deliver the most value to those that don’t have deep pockets and big- time sponsors. From the fast lap times to the approachable limit and great heat cycle performance, customers will feel and appreciate all the homework we’ve done to deliver a product that is custom designed for the weekend racer in all of us.”
