Maxxis Shorty Gen 1 Tire

This tire is specifically engineered for loose, soft, and muddy terrain. Its tall, aggressive knobs are designed to bite into deep loam and loose powder where standard trail tires might struggle to find grip.

The DoubleDown casing features a dual-ply construction that provides significantly more sidewall support and puncture protection than a standard trail casing. While it adds weight, it is ideal for aggressive riders who need extra stability and durability in rocky or high-speed sections.

Yes, the Shorty Gen 1 is tubeless-ready. Using it with sealant will allow you to run lower tire pressures for better traction and comfort while significantly reducing the risk of pinch flats.

The 3C Maxx Grip compound uses the softest rubber Maxxis offers, providing maximum traction and slow rebound for superior control. It is specifically designed for gravity-focused riding where grip is the absolute priority, though it will wear faster than harder compound tires.

The Gen 2-inspired updates split the previous 'doublewide' knobs into two individual units, which allows the tire to penetrate loose soil more effectively. The added siping and more supportive cornering knobs also provide a more predictable feel when leaning the bike into turns.

Yes, the tire features raised ridges on the casing specifically designed to shed mud. This prevents the tread from packing up, ensuring the spikes remain exposed to maintain consistent traction in wet conditions.
