Se on pehmeisiin ja mutaisiin olosuhteisiin suunniteltu trail- ja xc-rengas, jonka matalat ja viistetyt nappulat pitävät rullausvastuksen minimaalisena. Tilavasti sijoiteltujen nappuloiden ansiosta renkaan kuvio pysyy avoimena ja pureutuu pehmeään maaperään tehokkaasti.
– Tekniseen XC- tai Trail-ajoon pehmeällä alustalla
– Toimii eturenkaana, takarenkaana tai parina
– Hyvä pari nopeamman takarenkaan kanssa – esim. Aspen tai Ikon
 

FOREKASTER

• XC (CROSS COUNTRY)
• TRAIL

The new version of the Maxxis Forekaster is aimed squarely at modern short travel (100mm-130mm) trail bikes – aka the “downcountry” segment. Intended to be a “Goldilocks” tire, the new Forekaster (released July 2022) rolls faster than a Minion or even the Dissector but provides more predictable cornering, climbing, and braking traction than the Aspen or Rekon.

• Rubber:
  • Dual compound (best for dry, hard conditions)
  • 3C MaxxTerra (best for mixed conditions)
• Casings:
  • 60 TPI + EXO (general trail use)
  • EXO+ (heavy duty trail use)
• Wide Trail (WT) sizes are optimized for 30-35mm inner width rims
• Tubeless Ready specs are denoted with a “TR” in the tables below

Recommended use: All trail conditions

Recommended installation: Front or Rear

 

3C MAXXTERRA

Maxxis’ 3C MaxxTerra is an intermediate triple compound configuration used across our mountain tire line. The 3C MaxxTerra compound offers more traction than 3C MaxxSpeed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than MaxxGrip, which makes it ideal for trail riding in all conditions.

 

EXO

EXO is a cut- and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of many Maxxis mountain bike and gravel tires. This densely woven fabric is lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tire remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for enhanced durability for gravel, XC, and light-duty trail riding.

 

EXO+

EXO+ is Maxxis’ medium-duty puncture protection option suitable for all-around trail riding and light weight e-bikes. We begin with a durable 60 TPI casing, add in our legendary EXO puncture protection layer in the sidewalls, and top it off with a small butyl insert around the bead. The tough casing and EXO material ward off damage from rocks and roots, while the butyl insert protects the tire from pinch flats and helps prevent rim damage.

 

TUBELESS READY

Tubeless ready 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. Tubeless ready tires are denoted by the letters “TR” on the sidewall.
Tubeless ready tires must be mounted to tubeless compatible rims and require the use of a liquid sealant to maintain pressure. Liquid sealants have the added benefit of sealing small punctures. Be sure to check your sealant regularly and refresh as needed as it will dry out over time.

 

WIDE TRAIL

Wide Trail (WT) construction optimizes the tire’s tread layout and profile on today’s modern, wider rims. Historically, tires were designed around older, narrower rims which can create an overly square tire profile, leading to suboptimal performance. Our Wide Trail (2.40-2.50″ width) tires are optimized for a 35mm inner rim width but are proven to work over a range from 30-35mm inner rim widths, depending on the rider’s preference.
