Maxxis Forekaster Gen 2 3C MaxxTerra EXO MTB Tire

The original Forekaster was designed as a wet weather option for XC, while the new version is aimed squarely at modern short travel (100 mm - 130 mm) trail bikes – aka the "downcountry" segment. Intended to be a "Goldilocks" tire, the new Forekaster rolls fast but also provides solid cornering and braking traction in a broad range of trail conditions.

3C MaxxTerra

3C MaxxTerra is an intermediate triple compound configuration used across their mountain tire line. The 3C MaxxTerra compound offers more traction than 3C MaxxSpeed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than MaxxGrip, which makes it ideal for trail riding in all conditions.

EXO

EXO is a cut and abrasion resistant material added to the sidewalls of many Maxxis mountain bike and gravel tires. This densely woven fabric is lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tire remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for enhanced durability for gravel, XC, and light-duty trail riding.
