Description

If you own a plus bike and ride aggressive XC and trail, the Rekon is the tyre for you.

Who's this for: Riders wanting a very versatile and well balanced tyre for the front or rear, depending on your terrain and riding style.

Suggested terrain: The Rekon works great in hardpack, loose over hard, and medium dirt.

Which wheel:

  • Maxx Speed and Dual Compound work best as the front or rear tyre of an aggressive XC or trail bike.
  • Maxx Terra works great for the front of a trail bike, for the extra grip. Also works well as the rear tyre, but Dual Compound lasts longer on the rear.
  • EXO+ casing increases the strength of the tyre, and paired with a tyre insert like Flat Tyre Defender, makes for a super fast but still very tough rear tyre for an aggressive all mountain or enduro bike.

Rim width:

  • 2.4" is only recommended on 27mm rims or wider.
  • 2.6" is only recommended on 30mm rims or wider
  • 2.8" is only recommended on 35mm rims or wider

Skinwall/Dark Tan Wall tyres: Maxxis has made a running change to replace all Skinwall tyres with the Dark Tan sidewalls. During the transition phase, there is a chance that stock from our suppliers may contain a mixture of both sidewall types so you may receive a shade that is different from what you expect. If this does happen please get in touch and we'll do our best to get you sorted with the option you'd prefer ASAP!

                  Pros? Fast, versatile and decent weight for it's strength.

                  Cons? Doesn't brake super well in medium and loose conditions. That does however mean it slides very well, so if you're slap happy, or you're so fast that you don't even need to brake, then it's great!

                                                  I'd get better puncture resistance from bubble wrap.

                                                  For an off road tyre this one rates terribly in my book for puncture resistance. I've had more punctures on 10 weeks than I've had on 30 years.

                                                  Yes we have some nasty double gee and calthrop about but if have expected better from a Maxxis tyre. Very disappointed.

                                                  On a side note. Keep the tyre pressure up on these as soft tyres are going to cause problems. A soft tyre as a result of yet another puncture resulted in me dropping the bike on a slow left turn. The front tyre rolled and lost traction on the bitumen surface and I quickly found myself on the deck.

                                                  So far, so good

                                                  I have come from a 2.6" Assegai on the front of my enduro and am very comfortable with the grip and confidence I have cornering in most trail conditions. So, running the Rekon on the front of my hardtail for the first time was a bit of a leap of faith (particularly at speed). It held up well and, although the trail I rode was nothing like the chaos I ride my enduro down, seemed to grip well on dry/loose over hard. I'll take it out again and send it with a little more faith in it, as it gave me no reason to doubt it. The low roll resistance was a pleasant change. Obviously a good tyre for moderate trail/xc riding.

                                                  Good as usual

                                                  Great rear tire has enough grip and fast.
