- 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

- 3C MaxxTerra
- An intermediate compound configuration used in select mountain tyres. 3C MaxxTerra is softer and offers more traction than 3C MaxxSpeed; yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than MaxxGrip
- EXO
- An extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of select mountain tyres. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible; ensuring that the performance of the tyre remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for exceptionally rocky; treacherous trails where the chance of sidewall cuts and abrasions is high
- Tubeless Ready
- 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. The use of liquid sealants in any other Maxxis tyre will void the warranty.
PLEASE NOTE = All Maxxis tyres are now Wide Trail so the WT designation has been discontinued and will not be branded on the sidewalls or the packaging any longer.
