Revised tread pattern: New knob layout based on feedback from World Cup DH and EWS riders Double wide knob now split into two individual knobs More supportive cornering knobs Additional siping to enhance braking and cornering traction Raised ridges on casing to promote mud clearing Narrower sizing: New 2.40' width provides more mud clearance and reduced weight is an added benefit DoubleDown and DH specs 5% lighter Specification A versatile mid-spike for deep loam or loose powder Best for Loose Mud Wet Cornering Control 1 2 3 4 Rolling Efficiency 1 2 3 4 Compound: MaxxGrip Compound Technology Breaker: DH Casing Tubeless Tyre Bead Type: Folding TPI: 60x2 Weight: 1208g 3C MaxxGrip 3C MaxxGrip uses the softest rubber compounds to offer the ultimate in grip and slow rebound properties for unparalleled traction in downhill applications Wide Trail Wide Trail WT construction optimises the tyre’s tread layout and profile on today's modern wider rims. Traditional tyres are designed around older narrower rims and can create an overly square tyre profile leading to less than optimal performance. WT tyres 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 Product Type Bicycle Tyre Discipline MTB Colour Black Size 27.5 x 2.4 inches Bead Type Folding Bead Type Tubeless Casing DH Downhill ETRTO 61-584 Model Shorty Puncture Protection Yes Wheel Diameter 27.5 inches
