Forekaster Tire - 29 x 2.6, 3T, EXO+

Maxxis Forekaster is a fast-rolling 29 x 2.6 mountain bike tire tuned for modern short-travel trail and “downcountry” builds (100–130mm), where efficiency matters but cornering and braking confidence still need to be there when the trail turns loose, wet, or muddy.

The tread uses widely spaced, siped knobs to bite into soft surfaces, conform to uneven terrain, and clear mud quickly—making it a strong choice for riders who want one tire that doesn’t feel slow on hardpack but stays predictable when conditions get sketchy.

• 29 x 2.6 trail-focused volume - Adds stability and comfort while supporting aggressive XC and short-travel trail handling
• 3C / 3CT triple-compound tread - Balances rolling speed with usable grip and long-term tread durability
• EXO+ casing protection - Increases cut and abrasion resistance for real-world trail use without turning the tire into a dead-feeling brick
• Siped knobs - Improves edge grip by letting the tread conform to rocks and roots for more secure cornering
• Widely spaced knob layout - Helps maintain traction in loose or wet trails and sheds mud to keep the tread working
• Intended conditions - Loose, medium, mud, and wet trails where predictable braking and cornering matter
