The Maxxis 19-inch off-road tyre is a single 19″ diameter tyre with a 70 mm profile width, which equals roughly 2.75″. It is built for light electric motorcycles and fits Sur-Ron and Talaria 19″ wheel conversions. Stronger e-bike builds running a 19″ moto rim also work with it.
The classification is Off-Road / Enduro-trail. That places it squarely between mountain bike rubber and full-size moto enduro rubber. An aggressive tread pattern digs into loose surfaces, while a sturdy carcass holds the tyre stable through corners. As a result, the same tyre handles a relaxed weekend forest ride and a harder enduro-style session off the beaten track.
One important note before ordering. Fitment always depends on your rim width and on the clearance at the forks and rear swingarm. Therefore, measure your rim width and the free space inside the frame first.
Key Benefits
- Aggressive tread – dependable bite in mud, gravel and across rooted sections of trail.
- Sturdy carcass – cornering stability plus puncture resistance during off-road riding.
- 70 mm width – adds cushioning and sharper feedback under braking.
- 19″ diameter – matches Sur-Ron and Talaria 19″ conversion geometry directly.
- Directional tread – knobs are arranged to follow the direction of travel (model dependent).
- Ready for electric builds – suited to use with more powerful electric drivetrains.
- Control-to-roll balance – 70 mm does not overload rolling resistance.
- Maxxis manufacturing – a Taiwanese producer of both moto-enduro and MTB tyres.
Who Is This Tyre For?
The primary audience is riders of Sur-Ron and Talaria light electric motorcycles that have been given a 19″ wheel conversion. These machines are not electric bicycles. They are light electric motorcycles, so they need a moto-type 19″ rim rather than a bicycle rim.
The second group is independent e-moto projects and reinforced e-bike builds running 19″ rims. Here the 70 mm width keeps a genuine moto feel without giving up easy rolling. Specifically, the tyre suits Sur-Ron Light Bee 19″ wheel conversions, Talaria 19″ wheel conversions and light e-moto projects on a 19″ rim.
Beyond that, it fits riders who spend most of their time on forest singletrack, gravel roads and muddy sections. Typical use cases include forest trails, gravel, mud, rooted sections and mixed enduro-trail routes. Compatibility with your particular frame, however, still comes down to rim width and fork clearance.

Fitting Notes

- Run the correct pressure for the surface and rider weight. Go slightly lower off-road.
- Bed in a new tyre over 20-50 km so the tread beds down properly.
Why Choose This Maxxis Tyre?
Maxxis (Cheng Shin Tire, Taiwan, founded in 1967) ranks among the largest tyre manufacturers in the world. The company builds motorcycle and enduro tyres, MTB tyres, ATV/UTV tyres and car tyres. Consequently, the 19″ off-road segment is not a side project for them.
This tyre occupies the niche between MTB and moto-enduro class rubber. At 70 mm it is wider than a standard trail size, yet narrower than a full-size moto enduro tyre. That combination makes it easier to steer through tight forest sections while staying tough enough for more powerful electric motors.
Unlike narrower trail tyres, the 70 mm carcass provides extra cushioning. In practice that means fewer harsh hits over roots and more precise braking feel on descents.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this Maxxis tyre fit a Sur-Ron or Talaria?
- In most cases yes, for 19″ conversions.
- The condition is simple: the tyre must clear the frame and suit your rim width.
- Sur-Ron and Talaria are light electric motorcycles, and a 19″ wheel is the standard conversion route for them.
Which models and builds is it made for?
- Sur-Ron 19″ wheel conversions.
- Talaria 19″ wheel conversions.
- Light e-moto projects using a 19″ rim.
What does 70 mm mean in inches?
- 70 mm equals roughly 2.75″ of profile width.
- That is wider than a typical trail tyre and narrower than full moto enduro rubber.
Does it need an inner tube?
- This depends on the rim.
- TT or TL setup follows your wheel specification.
What surfaces does it handle best?
- Forest trails and gravel roads.
- Mud and rooted sections.
- Mixed enduro-trail routes.
Is the tread directional?
- Yes, depending on the model.
- The knobs are laid out to follow the direction of travel, so check the sidewall arrow when fitting.
How many tyres are included?
- One tyre per unit.
- For a front and rear pair, order two.
Do I need to break the tyre in?
- Yes, ride 20-50 km on a new tyre.
- This lets the tread bed in before harder off-road use.
The Maxxis 19-inch off-road tyre pairs an aggressive tread with a sturdy 70 mm carcass. It grips in mud, gravel and roots, and it matches the geometry of Sur-Ron and Talaria 19″ conversions. Measure your rim width and frame clearance, then fit it and ride.
