The original Forekaster was designed as a wet weather option for XC, while the new version is aimed squarely at modern short travel (100mm-130mm) trail bikes - aka the downcountry segment. Intended to be a Goldilocks tyre, the new Forekaster rolls fast but also provides solid cornering and braking traction in a broad range of trail conditions. Features include: A densely packed tread pattern to increase rolling efficiency, taller side knobs to improve cornering grip and raised ridges on the casing to promote mud clearing

New 3C MaxxTerra
  The next generation of MaxxTerra performance and durability is here! Maxxis did the work in the lab, so you can put the new MaxxTerra to work on the trail.  Thanks to an all-new rubber formulation, New MaxxTerra delivers breakthrough levels of durability, and increases traction across conditions, all while giving up nothing to rolling efficiency. The New MaxxTerra equals more laps, more adventures, and more fun. 30% increase in durability / longevity. 15% increase in traction. No loss in rolling efficiency

    
 EXO 
  An extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of select mountain tyres. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tyre remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for exceptionally rocky, treacherous trails where the chance of sidewall cuts and abrasions is high
    
Tubeless Ready
    Tubeless tyres provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tyre; and less chance of flatting since there is no tube. Liquid sealants should only be used in the following types of tyres: Tubeless Road, Tubular, and Tubeless Ready. The use of liquid sealants in any other Maxxis tyre will void the warranty
