After collecting years of data and feedback from our World - Cup Downhill and Enduro World Series athletes, we've redesigned the knob layout. This new design boosts wet traction, cornering performance, and mud - shedding ability. The 2.40 - inch narrow casing provides better frame and fork clearance in messy conditions and cuts down on weight.

Using this Maxxis Shorty tire is straightforward. Just mount it on your 27.5 - inch wheel properly. When riding, you'll notice improved traction on wet surfaces and better cornering. In muddy areas, the tire's great mud - shedding ability will keep you going smoothly. As for maintenance, regularly check the tire pressure. Keep it at the recommended level for optimal performance. Also, inspect the tire for any cuts or damages after rough rides. If you find any issues, it's a good idea to replace the tire to ensure your safety.
