Maxxis Forekaster V2 29 x 2.25 MTB Tyre Wire Bead
$44.99
The old Forekaster is dead! Long live the Forekaster! Finally a big solid trail tyre that isn’t just a shrunk down DH tyre or a wispy, flimsy XC race tyre in a big size. Plenty of knobs including actual cornering ‘brap’ knobs but still fast rolling in mixed terrain. Confidence for loose and soft conditions or days that just call for more bite on the ground.

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” tire, the new Forekaster rolls faster than a Minion or even the Dissector but provides more predictable cornering, climbing, and braking traction than the Aspen or Rekon.
DUAL COMPOUND
Two compounds used within the tread of select tires to offer lower rolling resistance and increased cornering grip.
