Maxxis Rekon
Best versatile tire for mixed trail conditions.
This tire strikes a rare balance between speed and bite, making it the go-to choice for technical XC riding. While it lacks the extreme mud-shedding capabilities of a dedicated downhill tire, the aggressive tread pattern and reinforced sidewalls offer unmatched confidence when railing loose corners at speed.
