Alright folks, after that long winter we are finally going world cup racing again and this is your Maxxis tyres pre-race show for the opening round of the downhill world up in Fort William, where I’ll be joined by coach to the stars, Chris Kilmurray to get the inside line on the unique demands of Fort William and we’ll be talking about who we’re excited to watch as the race season gets going. So sit back, hit play and listen to this Fort William World Cup pre-race show with Chris Kilmurray.

Maxxis is synonymous with performance and racing and is the winningest brand in the history of World Cup and EWS racing. No matter where or how you ride, Maxxis has the tyres for you with a wide range of tread patterns, casing and compound options.

You can check out the entire range of Maxxis tyres over at Maxxis.com, and find the tyres at your local Maxxis dealer. You can also give them a follow on instagram where they are @maxxisbike.
