MAXXIS tire Forekaster 29 x 2.40 WT 3C MaxxTerra TR EXO+ E-50
The new version of the Maxxis Forekaster has been specially developed for down country and trail use. This tire closes the gap between the fast-rolling cross country tires (Aspen, Rekon, RekonRace and Ikon) and the downhill-oriented all mountain and enduro tires (Dissector, Minion, DHF, DHR2 and Assegai) in the Maxxis portfolio. The new Forekaster is the perfect companion for long rides in different terrains. The new profile is characterized by center lugs that are closer together, which is intended to reduce rolling resistance. In addition, the side studs have been enlarged and, thanks to the slots, not only offer more support but also grip. The small ribs between the studs ensure better self-cleaning.
Wide Trail Casing (WT)
This special carcass construction optimizes the tread layout and tire shape on today's modern wider rims. Traditional tires are developed for narrow rims and have an angular shape on wide rims and therefore less than optimal performance.
WT tires are optimized for an internal rim width of 35 mm, but also work excellently on all rims with an internal dimension between 30 and 40 mm.
3C MaxxTerra
The right 3C compound for enduro and freeride tires. This mixture is characterized by ease of movement uphill and the best grip downhill, as well as a long service life.
EXO+ Protection
The improved EXO+ casing is based on a robust 60TPI casing, 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 inserted 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.
Tubeless Ready (TR)
Tires tube tubes have many advantages: you can drive with less air pressure. This gives you better traction and reduces rolling resistance. And where there is no tube , the risk of a breakdown is reduced. Maxxis TR tires are better prepared for assembly with sealant than other “Tubeless Ready” tires. The bead of the Maxxis TR tires is completely covered with a layer of rubber, like a real UST tubeless tube . This means that the tube can be installed successfully on all rims with standard dimensions the first time the tube is inflated and with little liquid.
Note: Maxxis strongly advises against using sealing milk containing ammonia. Ammonia has been proven to attack the carcass and, depending on the amount used, can weaken it by up to 30% after just a few months.
E-Bike Ready | E50
Maxxis tires with the e-bike logo meet and exceed the requirements of the ECE-R75 standard and are ideal for use on fast e-bikes.
