The Maxxis Rekon Race Mountain Bike Tire is a game-changer for mountain biking enthusiasts, offering unparalleled versatility and performance. Available in sizes 27.5×2.25 and 29×2.40WT, this tire is designed to meet the demands of various riding conditions and styles. Whether you’re competing in cross-country races or tackling rugged trails, the Rekon Race is engineered to provide exceptional grip and stability.

One of the standout features of the Rekon Race is its innovative tread design, derived from the popular trail Rekon, but with smaller knobs that enhance speed while maintaining traction. This semi-slick tire serves as an excellent rear tire paired with a more aggressive front tire or can be utilized as both front and rear tires in short track racing scenarios. Its adaptability makes it a favorite among competitive riders.

The tire also boasts EXO protection, a material that is resistant to cuts and abrasions, which is integrated into the sidewalls. This feature is crucial for riders who navigate through rocky terrains and need a tire that can withstand the rigors of mountain biking. The EXO technology ensures longevity and durability, making it suitable for various riding applications, from gravel to XC to light trail usage.

Another remarkable attribute of the Maxxis Rekon Race is its Wide Trail (WT) design, which aligns with modern, wider rims. This feature is particularly beneficial for mountain bikers who prefer a more stable ride, as it caters to rims with 19mm to 35mm internal width. The wide trail design enhances the tire’s contact patch with the ground, thus improving cornering and overall handling.

In addition, the Rekon Race is tubeless ready, allowing riders to experience the many benefits of tubeless tires. Tubeless setups enable lower tire pressure, which improves grip and reduces rolling resistance, ultimately leading to a smoother ride. Plus, they help prevent flats, giving peace of mind during long rides. Riders still have the option to use traditional tubes with tubeless tires, offering flexibility in setup.

Overall, the Maxxis Rekon Race Mountain Bike Tire is an exceptional choice for riders seeking performance, durability, and versatility. Whether you’re a seasoned racer or a weekend warrior, this tire will elevate your riding experience. The included Cycle Crew Tire Lever further enhances the value of this bundle, ensuring that you have the tools needed for quick tire changes and maintenance.
