0:00.0	Okay, we are fast approaching the end of the World Cup season and this weekend we're heading
0:08.0	to the penultimate round of the year. So this is your Maxis Tires pre-race show from Snowshoe,
0:12.8	West Virginia with Chris Kilmurray. Maxis is synonymous with racing and is the name that comes
0:18.1	to mind when you think of performance. It's no surprise then that
0:21.0	they've won more than any other brand in the history of World Cup racing. No matter where or how you ride, Maxis has the tyres for you with a wide range of tread patterns, casing and compound options. On my Enduro bike, I'm running the DHR 2, Max Terra double down on the rear, paired up with the Assegai Max grip up front in the slightly lighter XO plus casing. On the downhill bike,
0:40.0	I've got a DHR2 front and Tera double down on the rear, paired up with the Assegai Max grip up front in the slightly lighter
0:37.6	XO plus casing. On the downhill bike, I've got a DHR2 front and rear, both using the DH casing and with their super grippy max grip compound. Both those setups are working great for me, but you can check out the range and see what's going to work for you. You can check out the entire range of Maxis tires over at Maxis.com and find the tires at your local Maxis dealer. You can also give

1:10.9	and plenty more.
1:12.1	So without further ado,
1:13.3	here's your Maxis Tires pre-race show
1:15.1	for the 2023 Snow Shoe World Cup.
1:21.3	All right, Chris Kilmurray.
1:22.8	Welcome back to the downtime podcast.
1:24.5	We've actually had a two-week break.
1:26.2	Have you had a nice time?
1:28.9	Yeah, I finally got away from me for a bit.
1:33.8	It feels like a long time. I checked the calendar because it felt like ages, but it is only two
1:38.0	weeks. Like, what have people been up to? It is. Crazy, it is only two weeks. I think a lot of
1:43.1	people had a good couple of days off and a bit
1:45.7	of a decompress after leger depending on how their three-week block went and then after that
1:49.9	everyone kind of came over this way and obviously some people raced u.s open and a lot of people
