Rekon Tire
Rekon Tire, The Rekon is a light-duty trail tire designed to go fast in technical terrain.DetailsCategory:XC, TrailRecommended use: Hard packed to loose conditionsRecommended Installation:Front or RearModel Highlights:Dual compound, 3C MaxxSpeed, or 3C MaxxTerra options60 TPI or 120 TPI casing optionsEXO or EXO+ puncture protection optionsWide Trail (WT) sizes are optimized for 35mm inner width rimsTubeless ReadyTire Tech3C MAXXSpeed:Used primarily in cross-country (XC) tires, the two compounds in the outer layer are specially formulated to reduce rolling resistance and optimize treadwear and traction.3C MAXXTerra:Maxxis&'; 3C MaxxTerra is an intermediate triple compound configuration used across their mountain tire line. The 3C MaxxTerra compound offers more traction than 3C MaxxSpeed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than MaxxGrip, which makes it ideal for trail riding in all conditions.EXO:EXO is a cut- and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of many Maxxis mountain bike and gravel tires. This densely woven fabric is lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the tire&';s performance remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for enhanced durability for gravel, XC, and light-duty trail riding.EXO+:EXO+ is Maxxis&'; medium-duty puncture protection option suitable for all-around trail riding and lightweight e-bikes. Maxxis begins with a durable 60 TPI casing, adds in their legendary EXO puncture protection layer in the sidewalls, and tops it off with a small butyl insert around the bead. The tough casing and EXO material avoid damage from rocks and roots, while the butyl insert protects the tire from pinch flats and helps prevent rim damage.Tubeless Ready:Tubeless-ready tires provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tire; and less chance of flatting because there is no tube. Tubeless-ready tires are denoted by the letters "TR" on the sidewall.Tubeless-ready tires must be mounted to tubeless compatible rims and require the use of a liquid sealant to maintain pressure. Liquid sealants have the added benefit of sealing small punctures. Be sure to check your sealant regularly and refresh as needed, as it will dry out over time. Pick up an extra bottle of sealant here. Liquid sealants should only be used in the following types of tires: tubeless road, tubular, and tubeless-ready. Using liquid sealants in any other Maxxis tire will void the warranty.Wide Trail:Wide Trail (WT) construction optimizes the tire&';s tread layout and profile on today&';s modern, wider rims. Traditional tires are designed around older, narrower rims and can create an overly square tire profile, leading to less-than-optimal performance. WT tires are optimized for a 35mm inner rim width but are proven to work over a range from 30-35mm inner rim widths, depending on the rider&';s preference.Maxxis Wide Trail XC tires are optimized for use with 30mm internal width rims, but they will perform well on rims as narrow as 25mm. Maxxis does not recommend rims wider than 30mm or narrower than 25mm.
