Pace vs Speed Terrane review

In this entry we are going to compare and review Maxxis Pace vs Maxxis Speed Terrane tyres. Both manufactured by the same brand Maxxis, these tyres have been designed to be used for different purposes. Whilst Maxxis Pace is better for mountain activities, Maxxis Speed Terrane is a great choice if your needs are more aligned to gravel activities.

Pace

Speed Terrane

Low profile tread for XC or dirt jumping

Semi-slick cyclocross tire for dry race conditions

The Maxxis Pace uses small, tightly spaced knobs to create a tire with low rolling resistance. Originally intended for XC use, the Pace has proven to work well for slopestyle, pump track, and dirt jumping.

The Maxxis Speed Terrane is a semi-slick cyclocross tire perfect for those dry early season races that feature lots of grass.

Technologies

EXO An extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of select mountain tires. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tire remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for exceptionally rocky, treacherous trails where the chance of sidewall cuts and abrasions is high.
Tubeless Ready Tubeless tires provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tire; and less chance of flatting because there is no tube. Liquid sealants should only be used in the following types of tires: tubeless road, tubular, and tubeless ready. The use of liquid sealants in any other Maxxis tire will void the warranty.
