Forekaster XC (Cross Country) Trail The new version of the Maxxis Forekaster is aimed squarely at modern short travel (100mm-130mm) trail bikes – aka the “downcountry” segment. Intended to be a “Goldilocks” tire, the new Forekaster (released July 2022) rolls faster than a Minion or even the Dissector but provides more predictable cornering, climbing, and braking traction than the Aspen or Rekon. Rubber: Dual compound (best for dry, hard conditions) 3C MaxxTerra (best for mixed conditions) Casings: 60 TPI + EXO (general trail use) EXO+ (heavy duty trail use) Wide Trail (WT) sizes are optimized for 30-35mm inner width rims Tubeless Ready specs are denoted with a “TR” in the tables below Bicycle technology explainer Category: XC, Trail Recommended use: All trail conditions Recommended installation: Front or Rear
