Designed with mid-height tread blocks spaced evenly throughout the dual-compound rubber tire, the Forekaster WT features a tubeless-ready construction and the added reassurance of Maxxis' EXO protection. Confidently able to blast through loose gravel, sloppy mud, and changing trail conditions with a center channel of wider, cupped knobs complementing the allover blocks, the Forekaster WT was created specifically with “downcountry” in mind. Though its billed as a late season star, we wouldn't hesitate to wrap our rims in the Forekaster WT in rainy, wet locales all year long for casual weekend rides and on rainy race days alike.
