Maxxis Forekaster 29×2.60″ WT TR EXO+ 3C MaxxTerra Folding Tire

Intended to be a “Goldilocks” tire, the new Forekaster rolls fast but also provides solid cornering and braking traction in a broad range of trail conditions.

The new Forekaster connects and closes the gap between the fast rolling XC tires (Aspen, RekonRace, Ikon and Rekon) and the downhill-heavy profiles (Dissector, Minion DHF, DHR2 and Assegai) in the MAXXIS mountain bike portfolio. Maxxis envisions the new Forekaster as the perfect companion for long rides in a variety of terrains.

When the Rekon is not enough, but a Minion is too much, take the new Forekaster!

Technologies

3C MaxxTerra
An intermediate compound configuration used in select mountain tires. 3C MaxxTerra is softer and offers more traction than 3C MaxxSpeed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than MaxxGrip.

Tubeless Ready (TR)
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 because there is no tube. Liquid sealants should only be used in the following types of tires: tubeless road, tubular, and tubeless ready.

EXO+ Protection
The new EXO+ carcass is based on a 60TPI carcass that is coated with an abrasion-resistant rubber. There is a reinforced and rubberised EXO puncture protection layer on the tyre sidewalls and a short butyl insert over the tyre bead. Tyres with EXO+ protection are therefore built for aggressive trail riding and lighter enduro races and are particularly suitable for the higher torque and weight of E-MTBs.

Wide Trail Casing
Wide Trail (WT) construction optimizes tread layout and tyre shape on today’s wider rims. Traditional tires are designed for narrow rims and are too angular on wide rims for optimal performance.
WT tyres are optimised for an inner rim width of 35 mm, but function perfectly on all rims with an inner dimension between 30 and 40 mm.
