Maxxis Forekaster II TR EXO+ 60TPI 3C Terra, Kevlar, 29x2.40, 61-622, 999g, folding

The Maxxis Forekaster was specially developed for use in downcountry and on trails. This tire closes the gap between the fast-rolling cross-country tires (such as Aspen, Rekon, Rekon Race and Ikon) and the downhill-oriented all-mountain and enduro tires (such as Dissector, Minion, DHF, DHR2 and Assegai) in the Maxxis portfolio. The Forekaster is the perfect companion for long rides on a variety of terrain. The tread is characterized by closely spaced central lugs, which should reduce rolling resistance. In addition, the side lugs are enlarged and offer not only more grip, but also grip thanks to the slitting. The small ribs between the lugs ensure better self-cleaning.

GRIP, no matter what you throw at it. The new Forekaster optimized for your downcountry / trail offers the perfect grip in almost every situation. New with EXO+ puncture protection

Ideal profile between Rekon and Minion
Good self-cleaning
Ideal lateral support
Perfect all-round tire

Tubeless Ready (TR)
Tubeless tires have many advantages: you can ride with less air pressure. This gives you better traction and reduces rolling resistance. And where there is no inner tube, the risk of punctures is also reduced. Maxxis TR tires are better prepared for mounting with sealing milk than other "tubeless ready" tires. The bead of Maxxis TR tires is completely covered with a rubber layer, just like a real UST tubeless tire. This means that tubeless installation is successful on all rims with standard dimensions from the very first inflation and with little liquid.

Note from the manufacturer: Maxxis strongly advises against the use of sealants containing ammonia. Ammonia has been proven to attack the carcass and can weaken it by up to 30% after just a few months, depending on the amount used. Maxxis recommends the use of Tire Plasma tire sealant.

Wide Trail Casing (WT)
This special carcass construction optimizes the tread layout and tire shape on today's wider rims. Traditional tires are developed for narrow rims and have too angular a shape on wide rims, resulting in less than optimal performance.
WT tires are optimized for an inner rim width of 35 mm, but work excellently on all rims with an inner dimension between 30 and 39 mm.

3C MaxxTerra
The right 3C compound for Enduro and Freeride tires. This compound is characterized by smooth running uphill and excellent grip downhill as well as a long service life.

EXO+ Protection
The improved EXO+ carcass is based on a robust 60TPI carcass, which is covered with abrasion-resistant rubber. In addition, the tire sidewalls have a reinforced and rubberized EXO puncture protection layer, while a short butyl insert is used above the tire bead. Tires with EXO+ protection are designed for aggressive trail riding and enduro racing and are ideal for the higher torque and weight associated with E-MTBs.
