'CUT SPIKE' TYRES are appearing from most manufacturers now, bridging the gap between all-conditions intermediate tyres and full mud spikes.
The Shorty is Maxxis's entry to the fold, available in a single 26x2.4in
size and only in the company's top-end 3C compound. The large centre blocks
should give enough grip on roots and rocks to give a huge benefit over a full
spike, while the longer edge knobs should give the bite we're all after in
loose, loamy turns. The 2.4in width and edge tread design make for a less
square profile than a spike too, so getting up to speed straight away should be
a breeze.
