Maxxis Shorty V2 27.5x2.4"WT 60TPI Folding Tyre - 3C Maxx Terra / EXO / TR

The venerable Shorty mid-spike is redesigned with a new tread pattern and sizing. The Gen 2 Shorty takes lessons learnt betweeen the tape at World Cups and the EWS, to provide greater grip and mud clerance for those times when the trail or track is saturated and spicy.

Features:

• Revised tread pattern: New knob layout based on feedback from World Cup DH and EWS riders
• Double wide knob now split into two individual knobs
• More supportive cornering knobs
• Additional siping to enhance braking and cornering traction
• Raised ridges on casing to promote mud clearing
• Narrower sizing: New 2.40" width provides more mud clearance and reduced weight is an added benefit (DoubleDown and DH specs 5% lighter)

Specification:

• A versatile mid-spike for deep loam or loose powder
• Best for Loose, Mud, Wet
• Cornering Control 1 2 3 4
• Rolling Efficiency 1 2 3 4
• Compound: MaxxTerra Compound Technology
• Breaker: EXO Puncture Protection
• Tubeless Tyre
• Bead Type: Folding 
• TPI: 60 
• Weight: 966g

3C MaxxTerra - An intermediate compound configuration used in select mountain tires. 3C MaxxTerra is softer and offers more traction than 3C MaxxSpeed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than MaxxGrip.

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

Tubeless Ready - Tubeless tyres 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 tyre; and less chance of flatting since there is no tube. Liquid sealants should only be used in the following types of tyres: Tubeless Road, Tubular, and Tubeless Ready. The use of liquid sealants in any other Maxxis tire will void the warranty.

Wide Trail - Wide Trail (WT) construction optimises the tyre's tread layout and profile on today's modern, wider rims. Traditional tyres are designed around older, narrower rims and can create an overly square tyre profile, leading to less than optimal performance. WT tyres are optimized for a 35mm inner rim width but are proven to work over a range from 30-35mm inner rim widths, depending on the rider's preference.
