Sitting between their cross country and enduro offerings, the revamped Maxxis Forekaster is a downcountry specific tyre.
Designed to slot neatly into the gap between their cross country offerings like the Aspen and Rekon, and their gravity-fed options like the Minion and Assegai, the new Maxxis Forekaster is… dare we say it, a downcountry tyre.
Key features:
- 2.4 and 2.6″ widths
- EXO casing
- Dual Compound or 3C MaxxTerra rubber
- 29″ only
- From £59.99 RRP

Formerly the go-to tyre for any XC whippets looking for a bit of extra traction, the Maxxis Forekaster has been shoved up the gravity scales and is now officially… Yes… A downcountry tyre…
With fast rolling as well as cornering and braking grip key to the new Maxxis Forekaster, you get a fairly well-spaced central tread with some heftier shoulder lugs. This tyre is squarely aimed at those rallying 100-130mm bikes over some serious distances.
Available in 29″ only and 2.4 or 2.6″ widths, you also get the option of Dual Compound or 3C MaxxTerra compounds. Pricing starts from £59.99 RRP.
