WETSCREAM
The Maxxis Wetscream is a specialized downhill mountain bike tire designed specifically for wet, muddy, and loose terrain. Originally developed for World Cup-level racing, this tire is optimized for extreme conditions where traction and mud-shedding are crucial.
The Wetscream is a purpose-built tire perfect for racers and riders tackling sloppy, unpredictable terrain. It's overkill for everyday trail use, but when the rain hits and the mud flies, few tires match its performance.
Key Features
Aggressive, tall knobs: Deep tread pattern with widely spaced lugs offers excellent grip and facilitates self-cleaning in muddy conditions.
Soft rubber compounds: Typically available in MaxxGrip (ultra-soft) for maximum traction on slippery surfaces.
2-ply DH casing: Provides durability and puncture resistance for aggressive downhill riding.
Tubeless Ready (TR): Can be set up tubeless for lower pressure and increased grip.
Available sizes: Commonly in 27.5” and 29” diameters, with widths around 2.5”.
