Slotting in between our XC and gravity treads, the Forekaster is light, fast and grippy. - DUAL COMPOUND: Two distinct rubber compounds are used within the tread to offer a balance between rolling resistance and grip. - EXO: A cut and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of many of our gravel and MTB tires. Suitable for use in a wide range of riding applications from gravel to XC to light trail duty. - E25: Tires with an E25 rating are suitable for light duty e-bikes with assistance up to a maximum of 16.1 MPH. - WIDE TRAIL: Optimizes the tire’s tread layout and profile to match today’s modern, wider rims. Maxxis offers WT tires for everything from XC to gravity applications. A 30mm internal width rim is ideal for most applications, but WT tires can be used on rims ranging from 19mm to 35mm internal. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Item Diameter | 29 Inches | | Brand | Maxxis | | Tire Type | Tubeless | | Item Width | 2.4 Inches | | Bike Type | Mountain Bike | | Warranty Type | Limited | | Material | Rubber | | Tensile Strength | 50 PSI | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04717784041759 | | Size | 29x2.40WT - EXO, E25 | | Manufacturer | Maxxis | | Item Package Dimensions L x W x H | 14.29 x 8.43 x 4.88 inches | | Package Weight | 0.96 Kilograms | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 27 x 19.69 x 27 inches | | Item Weight | 1.75 Pounds | | Brand Name | Maxxis | | Warranty Description | Maxxis warrants to the original retail purchaser of every new Maxxis brand bicycle tire that the tire will be free from defect in material and workmanship for up to one year from date of purchase or until there is no serviceable original tread depth (as determined at the reasonable discretion of Maxxis) remaining on the Tire, whichever comes first.

In 29", the casing comes in at just under 2.3" width. I know from personal experience that the 27.5" version is a true 2.35 casing. I'm not sure why Maxxis did this, but this tire is still fantastic for aggressive XC riding.As a front tire, I paired it with a fast rolling 2.25 rear and I'm very pleased with what I've experienced after a week of riding in the Fall. The tire is gripping just as well as my 2.3" DHRII front tire, is rolling faster, and is ever so slightly lighter as well. I'm going to push this as far as I can into the fall as more and more leaves continue to accumulate on the ground. Wish I would've tried this tire sooner. Hopefully Maxxis offers their newer Forekaster in narrower casings somewhere in the future. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent trail tire for rear *by P***L on November 16, 2023* This is an excellent rear tire, paired with a more aggressive front. I've tried DHF front with a Rekon rear and DHF front with a Dissector rear (great combo) I tried mixing a Dissector 3c maxx terra front with this Forecaster rear (WT exo.. 2.6) and it railed. Low rolling resistance with lots of grip. 23 psi on mullet set up. Excellet! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this tire *by R***. on December 30, 2024* I coach on a mountain bike team and ride a lot. Each time I'm ready to replace my tires I keep coming back to these. They are a great tire. I run these tubeless and ride in mostly rocky technical sections in loose over hard conditions. ## Frequently Bought Together - Maxxis Forekaster - Dual Compound - 29, 27.5 - EXO - E25 Rating, Tubeless | Optimal for Modern, Mid-Travel Trail Bikes and Ebikes - Stan's NoTubes Tire Sealant - MAXXIS Rekon - 3C MaxxTerra - 29, 27.5 - EXO, EXO+ - E25 Rating, Tubeless | Light-Duty Trail Tire --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/473547372-forekaster-dual-compound-exo-e25-rating-tubeless-optimal-for-modern](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/473547372-forekaster-dual-compound-exo-e25-rating-tubeless-optimal-for-modern) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
