Maxxis Rekon Race Tire

No, this tire is specifically designed for speed on hardpack dirt and gravel. Its low-profile, semi-slick tread lacks the aggressive bite needed for loose, muddy, or technical terrain.

You can run it as a full set for short-track racing where speed is the priority. However, many riders prefer using it only on the rear wheel, paired with a more aggressive tire up front for better cornering grip.

The wire bead makes the tire more durable and cost-effective compared to folding bead versions. While it is slightly heavier, it provides a robust, consistent fit that is ideal for riders who prioritize longevity and value.

Yes, this specific version is a clincher tire with a wire bead, meaning it is designed to be used with an inner tube.

The 60 TPI (threads per inch) casing strikes a balance between durability and weight. It is tough enough to handle the rigors of XC racing while remaining supple enough to provide a comfortable ride on groomed trails.
