Maxxis Rekon Race Tire

Not really. This tire is designed as a semi-slick for speed on dry, hard-packed terrain. If you frequently ride in mud or loose, loamy conditions, you will likely want a tire with more aggressive, taller knobs for better grip.

Yes, the Rekon Race carries an E25 rating, meaning it is certified for use on pedal-assist e-bikes up to 25 km/h. It provides the necessary durability to handle the extra torque and weight of light e-MTB setups.

EXO is a cut-resistant material added to the sidewalls of the tire. It significantly reduces the risk of punctures and abrasions from rocks or trail debris without adding excessive weight, which is crucial for XC racing where reliability matters.

No, this is a tubeless-ready tire. We highly recommend setting it up tubeless to take advantage of lower tire pressures, which improves traction and comfort while reducing the risk of pinch flats.

The 2.25-inch width strikes a balance between rolling efficiency and volume. It is wide enough to provide a stable contact patch for cornering and bump absorption, but narrow enough to keep the weight down and speed high for competitive XC racing.
