Ride with confidence. Stay fast where it counts.
This tyre is built to keep you moving. It rolls quick. It holds corners. It brakes sure. On short‑travel trail bikes (100–130mm) it strikes a balance between speed and control. Think downcountry — light, lively, ready to push harder without losing grip.
Why it works for the trail
You want a tyre that doesn’t force trade‑offs. The Forekaster’s dense tread keeps rolling resistance low. Taller side knobs bite into turns. Raised ridges on the casing help fling mud away so the tyre keeps working in sloppy sections. The result feels planted and predictable, whether you’re chasing flow or threading technical lines.
How it’s built
3C MaxxTerra gives you the sweet spot between grip and durability. It’s softer than MaxxSpeed for better traction, yet wears better and rolls easier than MaxxGrip. The EXO+ breaker pairs SilkShield across the tread with an EXO sidewall layer. Together they boost tread puncture protection, sidewall durability and resistance to pinch flats — the kind of reassurance you notice when the trail gets real.
Tubeless ready construction lets you run lower pressures for more traction and a smoother ride. It also reduces rolling resistance and cuts the chance of flats. Note: use liquid sealant only in Tubeless Road, Tubular and Tubeless Ready tyres. Using sealant in other Maxxis tyres will void the warranty.
