The DH version of the Maxxis Shorty was an instant favorite among Maxxis' world cup racers. The trail version offers trail riders the same traction in a much lighter package. The mid-spike tread design sheds mud, making this tire ideal in wet/nasty conditions.

Maxxis' Wide Trail (WT) model has been specifically engineered and optimized to be run on rims with a 30-35mm inner rim width.

I first purchased the Shorty two seasons ago (2014) as a replacement for the Schwalbe Magic Mary. I was a fan of the magic mary but wanted something in the rear with a better braking profile. I started on the regular Shorty, and have now switched to the Wide Trail (WT) spacing now that I am running 30+mm wide rims. When it comes to tires, performance and longevity seem to be the name of the game. The shorty is Maxxis' new take on a chopped mud spike derived from its big brother the Wet Scream , similar to the likes of what Schwalbe did for the Magic Mary due to how many team riders were chopping their Dirty Dans. The theory behind the shorty is a faster rolling mud spike with similar grip tendencies. And while the shorty achieves this in large strides it has totally blown me away with how versatile a tire it actually is; the wide spacing between knobs fling themselves clean with ease and still hold grip without feeling like there are any dead spots, all while cutting an edge in turns. I've been riding the shorty for two season now, primarily as a rear tire (though it's still a stellar front tread) paired with a Mary in the front, especially for the unpredictable conditions in the PNW it's hard to beat this gravity oriented combo. The Shorty really can do it all, it may not be the fastest rolling tire but if going downhill is your lust than the Shorty may be for you.
