Rekon Race

The Maxxis Rekon Race is a semi-slick cross-country (XC) mountain bike tyre designed for speed and efficiency on fast, dry trails. It combines elements of the trail-focused Rekon with a lower-profile tread pattern to reduce rolling resistance, making it ideal for racing and fast-paced XC riding.

The Maxxis Rekon Race is a race-day weapon for cross-country riders who prioritise speed without completely sacrificing grip. It's a perfect rear tyre for dry, fast conditions or a front tyre for short-track events and less technical trails.

Key features

• Semi-slick tread design: Low-profile center knobs for fast rolling with slightly raised side knobs for confident cornering.
• Dual compound rubber: Balances tread life, grip, and rolling resistance.
• EXO sidewall protection (optional): Increases durability against sidewall cuts and abrasions.
• Tubeless Ready (TR): Compatible with tubeless setups for reduced weight and better traction.
• Available sizes: Commonly available in 27.5' and 29' diameters, widths ranging from 2.25' to 2.4'.
• Lightweight: Built with racing in mind—lighter than the standard Rekon for quicker acceleration and climbing.

Ideal for

• Cross-country racing: Designed for short-track (XCC), marathon (XCM), and traditional XC races.
• Fast, dry trails: Best on hardpack, dusty, or lightly loose terrain where speed is key.
• Rear tyre use: Often paired with a more aggressive front tyre (like a Maxxis Aspen or Rekon) for a balance of speed and grip.
• Trail riders wanting speed: Great for experienced trail riders on smoother terrain who want to maximise efficiency
