The Maxxis Shorty Gen 2 27.5 x 2.40 WT 120X2 TPI Folding 3C MaxxGrip DD TR is a meticulously redesigned mid-spike tyre that sets new standards for grip and mud clearance. Building on the success of its predecessor and fine-tuned through real-world feedback from World Cup downhill and Enduro World Series riders, this tyre excels in challenging wet and muddy conditions. Its innovative tread pattern features a split double-wide knob design and enhanced cornering knobs, delivering superior control and traction where it matters most.
Designed with the modern rider in mind, the Shorty Gen 2 incorporates raised casing ridges that actively promote mud clearing, ensuring consistent performance even on saturated trails. The narrower 2.40" width not only improves mud clearance but also reduces weight, making it a smart choice for riders seeking a balance between durability and agility. Equipped with Maxxis’ 3C MaxxGrip compound, this tyre offers exceptional grip and slow rebound properties, perfect for downhill adventures where traction is critical.
With a Wide Trail (WT) construction tailored for contemporary wider rims, the Shorty Gen 2 maintains an optimized tread profile that enhances rolling efficiency without sacrificing cornering control. Whether you're riding through loose powder, deep loam, or slippery mud, this tyre delivers confidence and stability throughout your ride.
Is this tyre compatible with tubeless setups?
Yes, the Maxxis Shorty Gen 2 is tubeless-ready, allowing for lower pressures and improved traction without the risk of pinch flats.
What rim width is ideal for this tyre?
The tyre is optimized for rims with a 35mm inner width but performs well on widths ranging from 30 to 35mm, thanks to its Wide Trail construction.
How does the 3C MaxxGrip compound benefit my ride?
The 3C MaxxGrip compound uses the softest rubber mix for maximum grip and slow rebound, enhancing traction and control during downhill and technical sections.
