Best For
Intermediate Track Specialist
Club racers and expert amateurs who run intermediate-to-hard-pack tracks and demand consistent, readable feedback from corner entry to drive. The MX-IH holds its character through practice days and race heats — not just on a fresh-mounted set.
Perfect Match
Weekend Warrior Racer
Riders who hit the track on weekends and don't want to swap tires between sessions just because conditions shift. The MX-IH handles varying track prep well enough to be a smart single-tire solution for most intermediate-to-hard race days, without wrecking the budget.
Great Match
Soft Terrain Specialist
If your home track is loamy, sandy, or stays soft after watering, the MX-IH's compound and pattern aren't optimized for those conditions. You'll get better hook and confidence from a dedicated soft-terrain design like the Maxxis MX-ST.

Frequently Asked
The MX-IH is purpose-built for intermediate and hard-pack surfaces — think watered and prepped tracks that firm up into blue-groove by the afternoon. It handles the full prep cycle that most race days throw at you. If your tracks stay consistently firm or harden as conditions change, this tire is right in its wheelhouse.
Maxxis rebuilt the carcass from scratch rather than updating an existing platform. The result is more consistent compliance — the tire communicates what the ground is doing whether you're braking hard or loading the sidewall mid-corner. Critically, it holds that character as it wears, not just when it's fresh off the rim.
It'll manage occasional soft sections without falling apart, but it's not the right tool if soft or sandy terrain is the norm at your track. The compound and knob geometry are dialed for harder surfaces. For primarily soft conditions, a dedicated soft-terrain tire like the Maxxis MX-ST is the smarter call.
Current availability includes a 70/100-19 front and a 90/100-16 rear — sizes that cover a solid range of modern motocross bikes. Check your owner's manual or read the size off your current tire's sidewall to confirm. If you're not sure, give us a call at (714) 516-9059 and we'll help you sort it out.
That depends on rider weight, power, track abrasiveness, and how hard you're riding — but the MX-IH is designed to stay predictable deeper into its wear life than a lot of competitors. Most riders get solid grip through multiple practice and moto sessions before performance starts to drop off noticeably. It's not a one-weekend tire.
Maxxis built this tire to serve a wide range of skill levels — the progressive breakaway behavior and consistent feedback actually make it friendly for riders still developing their feel for the front end. Advanced riders get the precision they need for fast lap times; newer racers get a tire that doesn't punish them for small mistakes.
