Maxxis Shorty DH MTB WT Tire - 3C - TR

This tire features Maxxis' 3C MaxxGrip compound, an aggressive DH/Enduro race-friendly rubber, designed for loose and blown out conditions and a perfect fit for racers who want extra control on the descent. Plus, the EXO protection in the sidewall ensures excellent puncture resistance even as you barrel down the mountainside.

Technologies:

^{Wide Trail (WT): This construction optimizes the tire tread layout and profile on today’s modern wide rims. Traditional tires are designed around older, narrower rims and create and overly square tire profile, leading to less than optimal performance. WT tires obtain peak performance when used with an inner rim width of 35mm but are proven to perform exceptionally with rim widths from 30 - 35mm.}

^{EXO Protection: An extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tire remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for exceptionally rocky, treacherous trails where the chance of sidewall cuts and abrasions is high.}

^{Tubeless Ready: Tubeless tires provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tire; and less chance of flatting since there is no tube. Maxxis Tubeless Ready (TR) tires provide the benefits of a UST tubeless tire without the weight penalty. Maxxis TR tires use a standard casing and require the use of a liquid sealant in order to make them airtight. Maxxis Tubeless Ready tires are the only Maxxis tires approved for use with liquid sealants.}

^{3C Mountain: Maxxis 3C Triple Compound mountain technology uses a harder, longer lasting base layer and two progressively softer top layers in order to optimize traction and stability. Maxxis offers three different configurations of our 3C Triple Compound mountain technology: Maxx Speed, Maxx Terra and Maxx Grip.}

^{MAXX TERRA: 3C Maxx Terra is softer and offers more traction than 3C Maxx Speed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than Maxx Grip. The perfect compound if you like to ride exceptionally fast and tackle every obstacle with confidence.}
