Maxxis Rekon+ Bicycle Tire

I think these are the 3C Maxx Terra, not Dual Compound, but strangely it doesn't way at all on the tire. It just says EXO/TR. With a tube measured 2.20 inches wide, tubeless measures 2.30 inches wide. Pretty good on the back for XC / light to normal trail stuff. Tail has slipped out a little but no crashes yet. I just got back from a couple downhill sessions with a much heavier Super Tacky DHF on the back, and I really hated the extra 3/4 pound on the back. The Rekon feels (and is) very fast, and grips surprisingly well. Not quite as good as a DHF and doesn't stop quite as good, but for the weight these tires are very, very good, I think the best grip for the weight out there. Acceleration is very good, climbing good, grip is a lot better than the relatively small knob size would predict. If you have an XC bike or a shorter travel trail bike these tires are a must-try. Front is Rekon 2.6, I just don't trust myself with something that measures 2.30 on the front lol.

Love this tire! Was using a DHR before and this thing rolls WAY faster in the Arizona desert. Also a pretty light tire, and the dual compound rolls faster than 3c. Surprisingly good grip as a front tire when turning over dusty hard pack. Don't think I'll buy minions anymore after this, except maybe a DHF in front, and Rekon in back! Give it a try if you run a minion and think you would like a faster roller.

Light, roles fast, and sticks like glue
