An extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material has been added to the sidewalls of the tyre. This densely woven fabric is lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tyre isn't negatively affected. Choose EXO Protection tyres for exceptionally rocky, treacherous trails where the chance of sidewall cuts and abrasions is high.
Tubeless Ready
Tubeless tyres provide many advantages: they allow you to ride with a lower tyre pressure, they improve grip and traction, have lower rolling resistance compared to a clincher, and decrease the chance of flats due to punctures or snakebites. Maxxis Tubeless Ready (TR) tyres have the benefits of a UST tubeless tyre without adding weight.

Top band
After Rekon Race front/rear, now Rekon rear but the Forekaster front. Result, much more grip and harder, flatter through corners even with loose ground. Perfect for XC in Nl and Trail in Ardennes or Provence, for example.
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Great front tyre in wet terrain
This is the old type of Forekaster. I use the tyre as a front tyre in the Ardennes. It never lets you down in unexpected situations. Offers great grip in mud and on slippery terrain. The confidence the Forekaster gives more than makes up for the slightly higher rolling resistance.
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Good all-rounder
Fine front tire, icm an Aspen or Rekon Race a nice all-round combo. Too bad that 2.4 is actually 2.3 here (59mm instead of 61). Niggling at the margins, but still.
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Very happy with it!
Put this tyre on the front and back of the bike (not tubeless yet) and I experienced a world of difference compared to the ikon. On the ikon I had a lot of sliding on the wetter trails and that seems to be 90% less now. Very happy with the choice of these tyres.

Do-it-all tire.
Do-it-all option at an affordable price. This is one excellent tire with low rolling resistance and outstanding grip.
