Maxxis
Shorty 27.5" WideTrail Tire
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.
