The new version of the Maxxis Forekaster is aimed squarely at modern short travel (100mm-130mm) trail bike, Aka the “downcountry” segment.
Intended to be a “Goldilocks” tire, the new Forekaster (released July 2022) rolls faster than a Minion or even the Dissector but provides more predictable cornering, climbing, and braking traction than the Aspen or Rekon.
