Maxxis Shorty
Best aggressive traction for loose and wet trail conditions.
This is the ultimate bridge tire for riders who refuse to swap rubber when the weather turns. While the aggressive, tall knobs can feel slightly draggy on hard-packed trails, they provide unmatched bite in loose, unpredictable terrain. It’s a confidence-inspiring choice for anyone who prioritizes grip over pure rolling speed.
