The new Maxxis Forekaster is the ultimate downcountry tyre, blurring the lines between the super fast-rolling Rekon and the more aggressive Dissector. The Forekaster fits in the middle ground between Maxxis’s fast-rolling XC-focussed rubber (The Aspen, Ikon, Rekon Race and Rekon) and their grippier gravity tyres that emphasise grip and traction (the Dissector, Minion DHF/DHR II and Assegai).
