Maxxis Bighorn M917

M917
The Maxxis Bighorn M917 is a legendary all-terrain ATV and UTV tyre — one of the most well-known and trusted names in the quad and side-by-side community. A genuine icon in the ATV world and original equipment on models from Polaris, Can-Am, and Arctic Cat, the Bighorn M917 is built to handle desert, dirt, and rock applications with confidence and durability. With its advanced radial construction, wide footprint, zigzag lug tread pattern, and extra shoulder protection, the Bighorn delivers the traction, ride comfort, and carcass durability that ATV and UTV riders demand — whether they’re trail riding, working the farm, or pushing hard through technical terrain.

Features and Benefits

  • Advanced radial construction: Delivers a noticeably smoother ride over rough, uneven terrain compared to bias-ply alternatives, while providing greater carcass durability and improved load-handling capability under sustained ATV and UTV use.
  • Wide footprint with innovative zigzag lug tread pattern: The wide contact area combined with the distinctive zigzag lug placement maximises traction on soft, loose, and uneven terrain — enhancing forward momentum through deep mud, sand, dirt, and over rocky surfaces.
  • Extra shoulder lugs for sidewall and rim protection: Additional lugs positioned at the shoulder zone shield the sidewall and rim from accidental contact damage during technical off-road riding — a key durability feature for trail and rock riding applications.
  • Shoulder block pattern for steering responsiveness: The shoulder block design improves steering response time and accuracy, giving riders better vehicle control and handling stability across varying terrain conditions and driving pressures.
  • Self-cleaning tread design: Open spacing between tread blocks allows mud, dirt, and debris to eject from the tread as the tyre rotates, maintaining available grip and forward traction in loose or muddy conditions.
  • Built for desert, dirt, and rock applications: The Bighorn M917 is purpose-designed for the terrain types most commonly encountered by New Zealand ATV and UTV riders — from farm tracks and gravel trails to rocky hill country and soft paddock surfaces.
  • OEM fitment on Polaris, Can-Am, and Arctic Cat: Chosen as original equipment by three of the world’s leading UTV and ATV manufacturers, confirming the Bighorn M917 meets the exacting performance and durability standards demanded by the industry’s top brands.
  • Road legal (select sizes): Approved for road use in select sizes, providing flexibility for riders who need to travel short distances on sealed roads between properties or tracks.

In order for us to give you an accurate quote it is handy to have your tyre size to hand. The easiest way to find this is to look on the sidewall of your existing tyre, where you will see a combination of numbers and letters.

Width: (this is the first set of numbers) and represents the width of the tyre sidewall in Millimetres.

Profile: This is the height of the sidewall as a percentage of the width of the tyre

Rim: This is the diameter of the inner rim in inches
