The Maxxis Rekon Race Mountain Bike Tire is the latest addition to Maxxis's illustrious collection of XC tires, proven to secure numerous World Cup victories. Featuring a semi-slick tread pattern adopted from the trail edition of the Rekon, but with smaller and shorter knobs, this versatile tire caters to a variety of XC racing needs. Whether utilized as a rear tire in combination with a more aggressive front tread or as both front and rear tires for short track racing, the Rekon Race offers the performance required for your XC racing endeavors.

Designed for hard pack and loose over hard conditions, the Rekon Race tire boasts a Dual Compound construction, balancing rolling resistance and grip. EXO puncture protection is incorporated into the sidewalls, making it exceptionally resistant to cuts and abrasions - ideal for tackling rocky, treacherous trails where the risk of sidewall damage is high.

The tire's Wide Trail (WT) design optimizes its profile and tread layout for modern, wider rims, ensuring optimal performance. Maxxis recommends WT tires for rims with an internal width ranging from 30-35mm, though they can accommodate a narrower 25-30mm range depending on rider preference.

Tubeless ready (TR) technology allows riders to reap the benefits of tubeless setups, including lower air pressures for enhanced traction and reduced rolling resistance, as well as decreased chances of flatting. However, the Rekon Race can also be used with inner tubes for those who prefer the traditional setup.

In addition to the Rekon Race, Maxxis offers a range of popular XC and trail tire combinations, each catering to specific riding styles and terrain conditions. These include the versatile Maxxis Ikon, the do-it-all Maxxis Ardent, and the lightweight Maxxis Rekon.

When selecting the appropriate tire width based on your rim's internal width, Maxxis provides the following guidelines: - Cross Country (XC) Racing: 2.00"-2.20" tire width, 20-25mm inner rim width - Light Trail Riding: 2.20"-2.40" tire width, 25-30mm inner rim width - All Mountain & Enduro: 2.30"-2.50" tire width, 28-35mm inner rim width - All Mountain & Enduro: 2.60" tire width, 35-40mm inner rim width - Fat Tire: 3.80"-4.00" tire width, 70-80mm inner rim width

Maxxis also offers a range of tire casing options, each catering to different riding demands. The EXO casing provides a balance of protection and flexibility for general trail use, while the DoubleDown (DD) and Downhill (DH) casings offer increased strength and support for more aggressive enduro and downhill applications, including use with electric mountain bikes (eMTBs).

Whether you're seeking a versatile XC racing tire or a durable option for your trail adventures, the Maxxis Rekon Race, bundled with a Cycle Crew tire lever, is a compelling choice that combines performance, puncture protection, and adaptability to a wide range of riding conditions and preferences.
