Maxxis Shorty Gen 2 3C MaxxGrip DD MTB Tire

After gathering years of data and feedback from Maxxis World Cup Downhill and Enduro World Series athletes, the Shorty Gen 2 is completely new. The knob layout has been altered to improve wet traction, cornering performance, and mud shedding abilities. The narrower 2.40" casing improves frame and fork clearance for when things get really sloppy and reduces weight.

3C MaxxGrip

3C MaxxGrip compound uses the stickiest, slowest rebounding rubber Maxxis offer in a mountain bike tire. This high traction compound is the same one used by their top World Cup Downhill and Enduro World Series athletes and is now available in a variety of casing configurations to cover all riders.

Double Down (DD)

DoubleDown (DD) is Maxxis' casing solution for enduro racing and e-bike use. Two layers of lightweight 120 TPI casing material are combined with a butyl sidewall insert to create a highly durable tire with more trail feedback than a Downhill casing tire. DoubleDown tires are marginally lighter than their Downhill counterparts, but it's really the difference in "trail feel" that sets the two apart. Some riders may prefer the highly damped ride provided by a Downhill casing tire.
