Maxxis Rekon

While it is engineered for technical cross-country, the Rekon is versatile enough for light all-mountain use. Its aggressive side lugs provide enough grip for technical trails, though it is best suited for riders who prioritize speed and efficiency over heavy-duty downhill durability.

The ramped center knobs are designed to minimize rolling resistance while maintaining a solid edge for braking. This means you get a fast-rolling tire on straightaways that still bites into the dirt effectively when you need to scrub speed.

Yes, the Rekon is a tubeless-ready tire. Running it tubeless is recommended, as it allows you to lower your tire pressure for better traction and significantly reduces the risk of pinch flats.

The Rekon features reinforced sidewall construction specifically designed to resist cuts and abrasions. While it offers a good balance of protection and weight, it is still a performance-oriented tire, so it is best for intermediate terrain rather than extremely sharp, rocky environments.

This tire excels in loose to moderate trail conditions. The combination of the fast-rolling center and the L-shaped side lugs makes it a reliable choice for mixed terrain where you need a balance of speed on hardpack and grip in loose corners.

The maximum tire pressure for the Rekon is 40 PSI. However, because it is a tubeless-ready tire, most riders will find better performance and comfort by running it at significantly lower pressures depending on their weight and trail conditions.
