Maxxis Forekaster 2°Gen Exo TL Ready 3C Maxxterra 60 TPI 29" WT tyre

The original Forekaster was designed as a wet weather option for XC, while the new version is aimed squarely at modern short travel (100mm-130mm) trail bikes – aka the “downcountry” segment. The new Forekaster rolls faster than a Minion or even the Dissector but provides more predictable cornering, climbing, and braking traction than the Aspen or Rekon.

Tecnologies

3C MaxxTerra

An intermediate compound configuration used in selec mountain tyres. 3C Maxx Terra is softer and offers more traction than 3C Maxx Speed, yet provides better tradwear and less rolling resistance than Maxx Grip.

TR-Tubeless Ready

Tubeless tires provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tire; and less chance of flatting since there is no tube. Maxxis Tubeless Ready (TR) tires provide the benefits of a UST tubeless tire without the weight penalty. The square bead profile of the TR tires is designed to work with the broad range of tubeless rims available on the market today. Maxxis's TR tires use a special construction which allows the use of liquid sealants to make them airtight and to help prevent punctures. If needed, Maxxis TR tires can also be used with an inner tube.

EXO-Protection

An extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of select mountain tires. This densely woven material is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tire remains unaffected.
