Ideal for riding on loose terrain and in wet conditions, thanks to its mid-height blocks and wide cupped knobs, the Maxxis Forekaster TR EXO is one tyre that will get you out on the trails no matter what the weather is like. This version benefits from Maxxis' EXO Protection material, which provides excellent puncture protection. Technologies: Dual Compound: Two compounds are used within the tread of select tyres to offer lower rolling resistance and increased cornering grip. TR (Tubeless Ready) Technology: 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. Maxxis Tubeless Ready (TR) tyres provide the benefits of a UST tubeless tyre without the weight penalty. Their TR tyres use a standard casing and require the use of a liquid sealant in order to make them airtight. Maxxis Tubeless Ready tyres are the only Maxxis tyres approved for use with liquid sealants. EXO Protection Technology: 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 tyre's performance remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for exceptionally rocky, treacherous trails where the chance of sidewall cuts and abrasions is high.

The new Maxxis Forekaster is the ultimate downcountry tyre, blurring the lines between the super fast-rolling Rekon and the more aggressive Dissector. Perfect for the latest crop of lightweight 120-130mm travel downcountry and trail bikes, the Forekaster is an awesome all-rounder.New tread pattern with re-arranged centre blocks and more consistent side knobs for improved grip and confidenceSide knobs are also taller for even more gripRaised ridges on casing improve mud-clearingThe 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). It features a widely space centre tread similar to the original Forekaster, but the arrangement has been tweaked for improved rolling efficiency without giving up driving and braking traction. The sideknobs have also been altered, with a more continuous arrangement of taller knobs to offer superb cornering grip. Offering a throwback to it s mud-shedding XC race origins, the new Forekaster also features raised ridges on the casing to improve mud-clearing, just like the new Shorty. If you want the perfect tyre that blends XC speed with exceptional grip for you lightweight downcountry or trail bike, you should check out the Maxxis Forekaster.
The Merritt Battle Freecoaster uses a traditional clutch style system paired with the 9T Diamond Driver (the driver comes with a lifetime guarantee). The driver replaces the small bearings, the most common source of failure in freecoasters, with polymer bushings along its entire length. The hub shell is super slim and CNC’d 6061 aluminum with a hollow chromoly axle. The hub comes set with maximum slack (we recommend running it like this) but adjustment washers are included to reduce slack if desired. The Battle Freecoaster is laced to The Battle Rim, The Battle Rim steps away from the low profile trend we’ve been seeing in BMX with some taller sidewalls to give the rim a little more beef. The Battle rim is made from 6061-aluminum with a 39mm width and a welded seam to ensure strength. It’s a double wall rim and it has a beefy ridge in the middle to help prevent spokes from blowing out. Available in RHD and LHD. ###section### Product Specs WHEEL SIZE:20" HUB:Merritt Battle Freecoaster AXLE:14mm Chromoly Male DRIVE SIDE:Left Side Drive RIM:Merrit Battle Rim SPOKES:Butted NIPPLES:Brass WEIGHT:1090g / 38.4oz E3
