Review on Maxxis Forekaster 27 5X2 60 Folding Tubeless by Elder Unogu

Didn't expect it to be that good. This tire replaced my Maxxis DHR II 27.5x2.4 on an Ibis 742 rear wheel with a 35mm internal width. I installed Maxxis DHF 27.5x2.6 in the front. And it's the best combo I've ridden in Northern California (Bay Area) for the fall/winter season. I use this combo on my Yeti SB6c 160mm full suspension bike. And I ride this bike on all kinds of trails from XC to Enduro/DH. Rolling resistance is amazing compared to the 27x2.4 DHR II I have ridden in the past. Cornering is just as good, maybe even better due to the extra 0.2 inches of width. Going uphill I really feel like it's a lot easier. The only downside compared to the DHR II is straight line braking. If the stopping power was 10/10 on the DHR II then I think the Forkaster gets a 7/10. I've driven it about 600 miles so far and it's still in great condition. I will definitely repeat.
