Shorty Folding 3C MaxxGrip DH Tubeless Ready Mountain Bike Tyre
After gathering years of data and feedback from our World Cup Downhill and Enduro World Series athletes, the Shorty was completely revised for 2021. The knob layout has been altered to improve wet traction, cornering performance, and mud shedding abilities. The narrower 2.40" casing improves frame and fork clearance for when things get really sloppy and reduces weight.
- 3C MaxxGrip compound
- Downhill spec
- Tubeless ready (TR) casing
- Wide Trail (WT) casing optimized for 30-35mm wide rims
- Category: Trail, Enduro, Downhill
3C MAXXGRIP
Maxxis’ 3C MaxxGrip compound uses the stickiest, slowest rebounding rubber we offer in a mountain bike tire. This high traction compound is the same one used by our top World Cup Downhill and Enduro World Series athletes and is now available in a variety of casing configurations to cover all riders.
3C MaxxGrip + Downhill casing = Downhill racing and long travel e-bikes
TUBELESS READY
Tubeless ready 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 because there is no tube. Tubeless ready tires are denoted by the letters “TR” on the sidewall.
Tubeless ready tires must be mounted to tubeless compatible rims and require the use of a liquid sealant to maintain pressure. Liquid sealants have the added benefit of sealing small punctures. Be sure to check your sealant regularly and refresh as needed as it will dry out over time.
Liquid sealants should only be used in the following types of tires: 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 optimizes the tire’s tread layout and profile on today’s modern, wider rims. Traditional tires are designed around older, narrower rims and can create an overly square tire profile, leading to less than optimal performance. WT tires 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.
Recommended use: Dry and loose, wet and sloppy
Recommended installation: Front and Rear
