Maxxis ATV Bighorn 2.0 27x9-R14 6PLY NHS Radial MU09

The Maxxis ATV Bighorn 2.0 in 27x9-R14 is built for riders who demand confident traction, durability, and predictable handling on rugged, muddy, and rocky terrain. With radial construction and a reinforced 6-ply carcass, this tire is designed to take a beating while keeping you in control, mile after mile. Note: NHS means Not for Highway Service, so this tire is optimized strictly for off-road use.

Why this tire stands out

• Radial 6-ply durability—A tougher belt and sidewall reinforcement reduce punctures and pinch flats, delivering a steadier ride across uneven ground and sharp rocks.
• Aggressive, mud-friendly tread—Deep center blocks and angled shoulder lugs bite into loose soil, while wide voids shed mud quickly to maintain continuous traction.
• Enhanced mud evacuation—Designed to self-clean as you power through damp trails, so grip doesn’t disappear mid‑puddle or on slick clay.
• Predictable handling—Radial construction delivers smoother feedback and more stable steering on rough trails compared with bias-ply designs, helping you stay confident at speed.
• Front or rear versatility—The 27x9 size fits a wide range of 14-inch ATV rims, giving you flexible mounting for balanced weight distribution and traction where you need it most.
• Clear off-road focus—NHS designation confirms it’s optimized for off-road performance, ensuring you’re not compromising the ride on pavement.

Ideal use cases

• Muddy trail expeditions and swampy backcountry rides where grip and durability are king
• Rocky, root-strewn trails that demand puncture resistance and stable steering
• Wet, clay-heavy environments where mud evacuation and traction retention matter most
• Riders who spend weekends chasing mixed-terrain adventures and need a tire that performs consistently across surfaces

What problems it solves

• Reduces downtime from flats and punctures thanks to the rugged 6-ply construction
• Maintains traction in soft or loose terrain through an optimized tread pattern that clears mud efficiently
• Delivers confident handling on uneven ground, giving riders better control during climbs, turns, and descents

Tips for best results

• Pair with a compatible ATV setup and follow the vehicle manufacturer's recommended tire pressure to maximize grip and stability—avoid over-inflation in soft ground where a larger footprint helps
• Rotate tires front-to-back as part of regular maintenance to promote even wear in mixed-terrain use
• Use the Bighorn 2.0 primarily off-road; avoid highway speeds or long-distance pavement use to preserve tread life and performance
