The Maxxis Forekaster has a pointed, well-spaced tread pattern that makes it an ideal tire for XC racing or easy trail riding in wet conditions during spring and fall, or on loose surfaces. Use the front in conjunction with the Aspen or Ikon rear tire for an "aggressive" XC setup.
EXO is a cut and abrasion resistant material added to the sidewalls of Maxxis mountain and gravel tires. This tightly woven fabric is lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the tire's performance remains unchanged. Choose EXO Protection for increased durability on gravel, XC and easy trails.
TUBELESS READY (TR) tires are tubeless ready and provide many benefits to the rider: the ability to ride at lower pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance compared to a tubeless tire; and less chance of flattening because there is no tube. Tubeless tires are marked with the letters "TR" on the sidewall.Tubeless tires must be mounted on tubeless rims and require the use of a liquid sealant to maintain pressure. Liquid sealants have the added advantage of sealing small punctures. Be sure to check the sealant regularly and renew it as needed, as it will dry out over time.
