MAXXIS Forekaster 29 x 2.60 WT DualCompound TR EXO tire
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 on different terrains. The new tread pattern is characterized by central lugs that are closer together, which should reduce rolling resistance. In addition, the side lugs have been enlarged and, thanks to the slitting, offer not only more support but also grip. The small ribs between the lugs ensure better self-cleaning.
Note from the manufacturer: Maxxis strongly advises against the use of sealant 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 an angular shape on wide rims, resulting in less than optimal performance.
WT tires are optimized for an inner rim width of 35 mm, but also work excellently on all rims with an inner dimension between 30 and 40 mm.
DualCompound
Two different rubber compounds are processed into one tread strip. We plan the arrangement of the compounds according to the desired properties of the tires.
EXO sidewall protection
This extremely cut- and abrasion-resistant material protects the sidewall of various MTB tires. It is very densely woven, lightweight and very flexible. As a result, the performance of the tires remains convincingly good.
Tubeless Ready
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 mounting is successful on all rims with standard dimensions from the first inflation and with little liquid.
Note: All 29 x 2.60 versions of the Forekaster have a WT construction, but no additional WT marking on the tire sidewall.
