Good tire. A little narrow
"Good tire. A little narrow than what the label states. Not a true 2.4."
Description
The Forekaster is aimed squarely at modern short travel (100mm-130mm) trail bikes - aka the “downcountry” segment. Intended to be a “Goldilocks” tire, the Forekaster rolls fast but also provides solid cornering and braking traction in a broad range of trail conditions.
- An aggressive XC trail tire that delivers excellent traction in loose and wet conditions
- Widely spaced knobs provide excellent traction and shed mud quickly
- Siped knobs conform to terrain and provide extra grip for secure cornering
- Intended use: loose, medium, mud, wet
- Wide Trail (WT) casing is optimized for 30-35mm inner width rims
- EXO casing provides protection on sidewalls for extreme cut and abrasion resistance while remaining lightweight and highly flexible
- Dual compound rubber offers low rolling resistance and increased cornering traction

Reviews
love this tire! Using it
"love this tire! Using it front only for now, but planning to try front and rear together soon. Great on hardpack, loose over hard, gravel, and small rocks."

Maxxis - Massive Improvement Over Stock Tires
"I upgraded my Specialized MTB to tubeless Maxxis Assegai front AND Maxxis Forekaster rear tires. Exceptional front-end grip to carry more speed into turns. Enhanced braking traction combined with outstanding compliance over rocky terrain. I did a tremendous amount of research and was skeptical at first about investing with this upgrade. No regrets. What a difference these tires make over entry level stock tires with tubes."
Good service and nice tires.

Faster rolling but still corners well
"Switched from minion aggressor combo. I feel like i get a slightly faster roll but it still corners well."
A good rear tire. Check measurements.
"As with most Maxis EXO tires, the Forekaster has held up to a lot of rocky trail abuse. The only issue is that it measures out slightly larger than other 2.4 tires and did not fit in the boost HT frame I transferred the tire too. I had to cut down the side knobs to be able to get a little more life out of the tire."
Get the version2
"My new bike came with v1 that most owner felt inferior. The v2 is pretty awesome. Get v2, not v1."
Solid aggressive trail tire
"Excellent grip and cornering stability, predictable transition to the side knobs. Surprisingly fast rolling speed given how aggressive the knobs are. Would work well as a front paired with a rekon rear. Dual compound seems durable and tough, quality as expected from Maxxis."
