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. Intended to be a Goldilocks tyre, the new Forekaster rolls fast but also provides solid cornering and braking traction in a broad range of trail conditions. Features include: A densely packed tread pattern to increase rolling efficiency, taller side knobs to improve cornering grip and raised ridges on the casing to promote mud clearing.
Technology
New 3C MaxxTerra
The next generation of MaxxTerra performance and durability is here! Maxxis did the work in the lab, so you can put the new MaxxTerra to work on the trail. Thanks to an all-new rubber formulation, New MaxxTerra delivers breakthrough levels of durability, and increases traction across conditions, all while giving up nothing to rolling efficiency. The New MaxxTerra equals more laps, more adventures, and more fun. 30% increase in durability / longevity. 15% increase in traction. No loss in rolling efficiency.
Exo+
Maxxis' EXO+ construction combines two of Maxxis' best puncture protection materials: SilkShield and EXO. The SilkShield layer runs from bead-to-bead with a layer of EXO along the sidewalls. Combined, these two materials create EXO+ which improves tread puncture protection by 27%; sidewall durability by 51%; and resistance to pinch flats by 28%.
Tubeless Ready (TR)
Tubeless tyres 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 tyre; and less chance of flatting since there is no tube. Liquid sealants should only be used in the following types of tyres: Tubeless Road, Tubular, and Tubeless Ready.
