Maxxis Rekon Tire

The Rekon is designed for intermediate to technical trails. Its aggressive tread pattern performs best in loose-over-hardpack and moderate trail conditions, offering a solid balance between fast rolling speed and reliable cornering grip.

Yes, this is a tubeless-ready clincher tire. You can set it up tubeless with sealant, which allows you to run lower tire pressures for better traction and a smoother ride over technical obstacles.

The 3C MaxxTerra compound uses three different rubber densities to balance grip and durability. It is softer than standard compounds for better traction in corners, but harder than the ultra-soft downhill compounds, ensuring the knobs don't wear out prematurely during trail riding.

The EXO+ casing adds an extra layer of puncture protection to both the sidewalls and the tread area. It is more robust than the standard EXO casing, making it a reliable choice for aggressive trail riding where sharp rocks or debris might otherwise slice the tire.

The Rekon is highly versatile and works well in both positions. Many riders use it as a rear tire paired with a more aggressive front tire like the Maxxis Minion DHF for extra grip, or run it front and rear for a fast-rolling, predictable setup.

The maximum rated pressure is 40 PSI. However, for most trail riding, you will likely find better performance and comfort at significantly lower pressures, especially when running the tire tubeless.
