Experience the enhanced performance of the Maxxis Shorty Gen 2 27.5 x 2.40 WT, a meticulously redesigned tubeless tyre tailored for riders who demand superior grip and control on challenging terrain. This second-generation Shorty model incorporates invaluable insights gathered from World Cup downhill and Enduro World Series races, delivering exceptional traction and mud clearance when the trail conditions are at their toughest. With its innovative tread pattern and refined sizing, the tyre ensures a balance of durability, responsiveness, and agility.
Featuring the advanced 3C MaxxGrip compound, the Shorty Gen 2 offers unparalleled grip and slow rebound characteristics, essential for downhill riders who need confidence in braking and cornering. The tyre’s Wide Trail design is optimized for modern wider rims (35mm inner width), providing an ideal tread profile that enhances rolling efficiency without sacrificing stability. Whether you’re navigating deep loam, loose powder, or wet, muddy tracks, this tyre maintains excellent traction and control.
The tyre’s tread boasts a new knob layout with split double-wide knobs and more supportive cornering knobs, combined with added siping and raised casing ridges to promote effective mud shedding. The narrower 2.40" width not only improves mud clearance but also reduces weight, making it a versatile choice for riders looking to maximize performance in loose and wet conditions.
Is this tyre compatible with tubeless setups?
Yes, the Maxxis Shorty Gen 2 is designed as a tubeless tyre, offering the benefits of lower pressure and improved traction without the risk of pinch flats.
What rim sizes work best with this tyre?
The tyre is optimized for rims with an inner width of 35mm but performs well on rims ranging from 30 to 35mm, providing a balanced profile and handling.
