The venerable Shorty mid-spike is redesigned with a new tread pattern and sizing
The Gen 2 Shorty takes lessons learnt betweeen the tape at World Cups and the EWS, to provide greater grip and mud clerance for those times when the trail or track is saturated and spicy
Revised tread pattern: New knob layout based on feedback from World Cup DH and EWS riders
Double wide knob now split into two individual knobs
More supportive cornering knobs
Additional siping to enhance braking and cornering traction
Raised ridges on casing to promote mud clearing
Narrower sizing: New 2.40" width provides more mud clearance and reduced weight is an added benefit (DoubleDown and DH specs 5% lighter)

3C MaxxTerra
An intermediate compound configuration used in select mountain tyres. 3C MaxxTerra is softer and offers more traction than 3C MaxxSpeed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than MaxxGrip
EXO – on select models
An
extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the
sidewalls of select mountain tyres. This densely woven fabric is also
lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the
tyre remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for exceptionally rocky,
treacherous trails where the chance of sidewall cuts and abrasions is
high
Tubeless Ready
Tubeless
tyres provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower
air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when
compared to a tube-type tyre; and less chance of flatting since there is
no tube. Liquid sealants should only be used in the following types of
tyres: Tubeless Road, Tubular, and Tubeless Ready. The use of liquid
sealants in any other Maxxis tyre will void the warranty
Wide Trail
Wide
Trail (WT) construction optimises the tyre’s tread layout and profile
on today's modern, wider rims. Traditional tyres are designed around
older, narrower rims and can create an overly square tyre profile,
leading to less than optimal performance. WT tyres are optimized for a
35mm inner rim width but are proven to work over a range from 30-35mm
inner rim widths, depending on the rider’s preference
