Description

Belted Sledgehammer tyres deliver stability and control whether you're slinging mud or setting speed records.

Fits 17 mm splined hex, front or rear.

The Sledgehammer’s large diameter gives your Maxx a powerful stance with tall ground clearance. Sledgehammer tyres come pre-mounted to black wheels with an ultra-tough glue bead for the most extreme high-speed off-road action. Fits 17 mm splined hex, front or rear.
