Maxxis Shorty Gen 2 3C MaxxGrip DH 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.

Downhill (DH)

As the name implies, Maxxis' Downhill casing tires are designed for extreme use in all gravity applications from downhill racing to bike park riding to free riding to long travel e-bikes. A Maxxis Downhill tire is made with two layers of durable 60 TPI casing material along with a large butyl rubber insert that extends from each bead into the sidewall. The butyl insert helps prevent pinch flats, protects the rim from impacts, and provides additional sidewall stability.
