Maxxis Technologies (Compounds & Casings):

3C MaxxTerra - Maxxis’ 3C MaxxTerra is an intermediate triple compound configuration used across our mountain tyre line. The 3C MaxxTerra compound offers more traction than 3C MaxxSpeed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than MaxxGrip, which makes it ideal for trail riding in all conditions.

EXO - EXO is a cut and abrasion resistant material added to the sidewalls of many Maxxis mountain bike and gravel tyres. This densely woven fabric is lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tyre remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for enhanced durability for gravel, XC, and light-duty trail riding.

EXO+ - EXO+ is Maxxis’ medium-duty puncture protection option suitable for all-around trail riding and lightweight e-bikes. We begin with a durable 60 TPI casing, add in our legendary EXO puncture protection layer in the sidewalls, and top it off with a small butyl insert around the bead. The tough casing and EXO material ward off damage from rocks and roots, while the butyl insert protects the tyre from pinch flats and helps prevent rim damage.

Tubeless Ready - Tubeless ready 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 because there is no tube. Tubeless ready tyres are denoted by the letters “TR” on the sidewall.

Wide Trail (WT) - Wide Trail (WT) construction optimises the tyre’s tread layout and profile on today’s modern, wider rims. Historically, tyres were designed around older, narrower rims which can create an overly square tyre profile, leading to suboptimal performance. Our Wide Trail (2.40-2.50″ width) tyres are optimised for a 35mm inner rim width but are proven to work over a range from 30-35mm inner rim widths, depending on the rider’s preference.

The Maxxis Forekaster V2 is made for riders who want fast, controlled performance on trail bikes. With its ideal mix of grip and speed, it’s designed for adventure on a variety of terrain. Whether you're navigating tight corners or rolling through technical sections, the Forekaster V2 gives you the reliable performance you need for all-day rides.
