Maxxis ATV Bighorn 2.0 26x11-R12 6PLY 55N Radial MU10

The Maxxis ATV Bighorn 2.0 in the 26x11-R12 size is built for riders who demand dependable grip, confident steering, and long-lasting durability on tough off-road trails. Designed with radial construction and a sturdy 6-ply carcass, this tire is capable of taking on mud, rocky terrain, and uneven surfaces with steady traction and a smooth ride. With a 55N speed/load rating and compatibility with 12-inch rims, it’s a purposeful upgrade for your ATV that stays reliable under demanding conditions.

What makes the Bighorn 2.0 stand out

• Radial performance for a smoother ride. The radial ply design improves heat dissipation and ride quality over rough terrain, reducing fatigue on long off-road sessions.
• 6-ply durability. The reinforced sidewalls and tread area resist punctures and bruising from rocks, roots, and abrasive surfaces.
• Aggressive, mud-ready tread. Wide shoulder blocks and angled lugs bite into soft ground while maintaining stable handling on firmer trails.
• Self-cleaning capability. The tread geometry is engineered to shed mud efficiently, helping you maintain traction as conditions get messy.
• Balanced footprint for stability. The 26-inch diameter paired with an 11-inch width provides confident floatation in soft terrain and precise steering on hardpack.
• 12-inch rim compatibility. The R12 sizing integrates smoothly with common ATV setups, reducing installation hassles and ensuring a snug, vibration-free ride.

Ideal applications and scenarios

These tires are designed for riders tackling a mix of terrain—from deep, slick mud to rocky woodland trails and hardpacked dirt roads. They excel in:

• Mud and swamp trails where maximum flotation and grip are essential
• Rocky climb and descent scenarios where puncture resistance matters
• Forestry roads and wide-open trails that demand steady, predictable handling
• Work and recreation alike, where consistent performance across varying ground conditions matters

Why choose Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 over other ATV tires

The Bighorn 2.0 is engineered to deliver repeatable traction and dependable durability across the most challenging rides. Its tuned tread pattern avoids aggressive wear in high-heat conditions, while the six-ply construction provides a reassuring level of puncture resistance for rough-cut environments. When you need predictable steering, solid grip in mixed terrain, and a long-lasting tire that won’t back down from mud, rocks, or loose soil, this is the tire you can rely on for your ATV.

Practical tips for installation and maintenance

• Pair these tires with a compatible rim setup on 12-inch wheels to maximize contact area and stability.
• Check tire pressure according to payload and terrain—slightly lower pressures can improve mud traction, while higher pressures suit packed mud or hardpack for better steering response.
• Inspect the tread frequently after rugged rides and remove entrapped debris to preserve self-cleaning performance.
• Rotate tires as part of regular maintenance to promote even wear across all four corners.
