While the original Forekaster was designed as a wet-conditions XC option, the new version is aimed squarely at modern low-travel trail bikes (100 mm-130 mm), i.e., the "downcountry" segment. The new Forekaster rolls fast, but also provides solid cornering and braking traction across a wide range of trail conditions. It fits into the Maxxis MTB range between our speed-focused XC options (Aspen, Rekon Race, Ikon, Rekon) and our gravity-oriented treads (Dissector, Minion DHF, Minion DHR, Assegai), which emphasize cornering and braking traction. The new Forekaster is the perfect choice for long rides on a wide variety of terrain.

- High-density tread pattern to increase rolling efficiency;
- Taller side knobs for improved cornering traction and to aid mud shedding;
- Dual or 3C MaxxTerra compound;
- EXO protection;
- Tubeless Ready;
