MAXXIS Tire Forekaster 27,5 x 2,40 WT DualCompound TR EXO

MAXXIS Forekaster 27.5 x 2.40 WT DualCompound TR EXO tire

The Maxxis Forekaster was specially developed for use in downcountry and on trails. This tire closes the gap between the fast-rolling cross-country tires (such as Aspen, Rekon, Rekon Race and Ikon) and the downhill-oriented all-mountain and enduro tires (such as Dissector, Minion, DHF, DHR2 and Assegai) in the Maxxis portfolio. The Forekaster is the perfect companion for long rides on a variety of terrain. The tread is characterized by closely spaced central lugs, which should reduce rolling resistance. In addition, the side lugs are enlarged and offer not only more grip, but also grip thanks to the slitting. The small ribs between the lugs ensure better self-cleaning.

Tubeless Ready (TR)
Tubeless tires have many advantages: you can ride with less air pressure. This gives you better traction and reduces rolling resistance. And where there is no inner tube, the risk of punctures is also reduced. Maxxis TR tires are better prepared for mounting with sealing milk than other "tubeless ready" tires. The bead of Maxxis TR tires is completely covered with a rubber layer, just like a real UST tubeless tire. This means that tubeless installation is successful on all rims with standard dimensions from the very first inflation and with little liquid.

Note from the manufacturer: Maxxis strongly advises against the use of sealants containing ammonia. Ammonia has been proven to attack the carcass and can weaken it by up to 30% after just a few months, depending on the amount used. Maxxis recommends the use of Tire Plasma tire sealant.

Wide Trail Casing (WT)
This special carcass construction optimizes the tread layout and tire shape on today's wider rims. Traditional tires are developed for narrow rims and have too angular a shape on wide rims, resulting in less than optimal performance.
WT tires are optimized for an inner rim width of 35 mm, but work excellently on all rims with an inner dimension between 30 and 39 mm.

DualCompound
Two different rubber compounds are processed into one tread strip. We plan the arrangement of the compounds according to the desired properties of the tires.

EXO sidewall protection
This extremely cut- and abrasion-resistant material protects the sidewall of various MTB tires. It is very densely woven, lightweight and very flexible. As a result, the performance of the tires remains convincingly good.
