Maxxis, Shorty, Tire, 29''x2.40, Folding, Tubeless Ready, 3C Maxx Grip, Double Down, Wide Trail, 120x2TPI, Black

Product description

After gathering years of data and feedback from our World Cup Downhill and Enduro World Series athletes, the Shorty is completely new for 2021. The knob layout has been altered to improve wet traction, cornering performance, and mud shedding abilities. The narrower 2.40″ casing improves frame and fork clearance for when things get really sloppy and reduces weight.

• 3C MaxxGrip compound option
• Tubeless ready (TR) casing
• Wide Trail (WT) casing optimized for 30-35mm wide rims

Category: Trail, Enduro, Downhill

Recommended use: Dry and loose, wet and sloppy

Recommended installation: Front and Rear

Maxxis’ 3C MaxxGrip compound uses the stickiest, slowest rebounding rubber we offer in a mountain bike tire. This high traction compound is the same one used by our top World Cup Downhill and Enduro World Series athletes and is now available in a variety of casing configurations to cover all riders.

DoubleDown (DD) is our casing solution for enduro racing and e-bike use. Two layers of our lightweight 120 TPI casing material are combined with a butyl sidewall insert to create a highly durable tire with more trail feedback than a Downhill casing tire. DoubleDown tires are marginally lighter than their Downhill counterparts, but it’s really the difference in “trail feel” that sets the two apart. Some riders may prefer the highly damped ride provided by a Downhill casing tire.
