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 Goldilocks of mtb tyres Compound: 3C MaxxTerra Compound Technology Breaker: EXO+ Puncture Protection Max PSI: 50 Bead Type: Folding Tubeless TyreeBike rating: E-50 TPI: 60 Weight: 937g 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+ Our EXO+ construction combines two of our best puncture protection materials: SilkShield and EXO. The SilkShield layer runs from bead-to-bead with a layer of EXO along the sidewalls. Combined; these two materials create EXO+ which improves tread puncture protection by 27%; sidewall durability by 51%; and resistance to pinch flats by 28% 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.
