Maxxis Rekon MTB WT Tyre - 3C - Exo - TR - Black
Engineered as a slightly beefier version of its speedy Rekon 3C/EXO/TR Tire, the Rekon is Maxxis'answer to those wanting a fast rolling tire that still has plenty of grip while climbing, braking, and cornering. Designed for technical and aggressive XC trails, this 60tpi version balances puncture, cut, and abrasion resistance with low weight and improved ride quality. Also as a tubeless-ready tire, it receives folding beads, keeping the tire secured to the rim while also dropping grams. Ensuring you spend more time riding and less time fixing flats is its EXO sidewall protection. EXO is a densely woven fabric that's extremely cut and abrasion-resistant and added to the tire's sidewalls. Maxxis is careful in that the EXO material is lightweight and highly flexible so the performance of the tire remains unaffected. Those riding in exceptionally rocky trails where the chances of sidewall cuts and abrasions are high will certainly appreciate the EXO protection. Lastly, this particular model gets Maxxis'3C MaxxTerra compound meaning a hard base layer with medium at the tread and soft on the shoulders. You can expect that this intermediate compound will be softer and offer more traction than 3C MaxxSpeed, yet provide better tread wear and less rolling resistance than MaxxGrip.

Using as a front tire with a Rekon Race out back. Wanted something with less rolling resistance for XC races and training on the gravel roads where I live (I can only swing one bike currently). This tire rolls much faster than my previous setup (High Roller II rear Minion DHF front). Ran this tire in a race this past weekend and it performed flawlessly. Glad to see Jenson and Maxxis are still supporting the 27.5's.

Great tire for a great price. Fortunately my bike is Superboost, so 2.6" tires fit on front and rear. Typically I use a more narrow rear tire, but for the price I felt it was worth the gamble to replace my 2.35 Ikon. I now have 2 of the same tires. Great traction for loose over hardpack, brown ice, and climbing. Also does well in the mud. And much less rolling resistance than the stock DHF and DHR.

I ran as high as 31 psi and as low as 22-24 psi (27.5 tire) and both were great and with good lateral support nor too sketchy. I even worked through some soft stuff and loose material , and the results were good. For light duty to medium trail applications this is amazing choice. On my Ripmo AF I suffered for 2 years with the Assegais it came with. Not this time. Unless you're a bike park brawler or live in a MTB mecca locale, you may need to lighten up the stock tread to get a snappier, quicker rolling experience. Rekon worked for me.

After running a Maxxis Dissector on the rear of my 120mm Trail Bike, mostly in the lower foothills in Boise, ID, I wanted to find a faster rolling tread pattern that would help add some zip to my climbs, but still preform well on the descents. I went with a 2.4 Rekon WT EXO and have been extremely pleased.Our trail system has a lot of dry, loose and sandy surfaces, and while the Dissector performed great (especially above tree line and in the chunkier stuff) it was just a bit sluggish for the majority of my riding. The Rekon rolls fast, doesn't give way in corners and with a bit of adjustment to my tire pressure (lower psi), maintains traction over chunky technical sections and loose rocks.While the Rekon is working out as a stellar rear, I'm sticking with the ... MoreAfter running a Maxxis Dissector on the rear of my 120mm Trail Bike, mostly in the lower foothills in Boise, ID, I wanted to find a faster rolling tread pattern that would help add some zip to my climbs, but still preform well on the descents.

They are all good, I just find the 60 TPI and EXO/TR are the best blend of function and value.Our trails in eastern Kansas are more XC than anything with roots and rocks. It needs to be tough enough to withstand the full gamut of sharp rocks, hard hits descending over roots and through wet and rocky draws, as well as put up with goatheads here and there.I like that Maxxis tires don’t tend to dry rot over time (my bikes are all stores indoors). I’ve got 5 year old Maxxis tires that are still intact and the treads are solid and they still function well tubeless, goathead thorns and all.
First off I'm a Rekon fan. They have a great combo of rolling speed and grip for me. I've used the Dual compound in the 2.6 size for years. That tire weighs about 850g or so. It takes a long time to wear out. And its 60tpi construction is more durable. In over 5 years of using the Rekon never had a flat of any kind at around 20psi. On the rear extra grip isn't as much of an issue compared to the front. So last year I tried the original Exo+ in the same 2.6 size for 27.5. for the front. Loved it. Had better braking more of a damped feel. Old Rekon Exo+ gets 5 stars.Went to buy another set of Exo+, found out after the fact there is a new version of Exo+. It goes from 120tpi to 60tpi like the dual compound and loses the silk shield in the sidewall like the original ... MoreFirst off I'm a Rekon fan.

It goes from 120tpi to 60tpi like the dual compound and loses the silk shield in the sidewall like the original Exo+ had. It adds a butyl liner on the bead supposedly to reduce pinch flats. So the sidewall is no different than my dual compound Rekon. Just received the new Exo+ from Competitive Cyclist (quick shipping always good experience) but the new Exo+ weighs 1010g in the 2.6. The old Exo+ weighed 870g. I read an article that said the new Exo+ is only 5% heavier. No way. At least for the Rekon the difference is 16% heavier. FYI, I just got the 3C Max Terra regular Exo Rekon 2.6 and it only weighs 830g. Will try that up front with the dual compound in the rear. I'm saving 3/4 of pound of rotational weight. I like the Rekon. I like the 2.6 size which is really about 2.5 as is par for the course for Maxxis. But I do not like the new version of the Exo+. The old was much better.Competitive Cyclist on the item description for the Exo+ says the claimed weight is 741g. I knew that was way off. They need to fix that. On Maxxis site they say the weight is 948g. I should looked at their site first. But the tire is still a good bit heavier than Maxxis claims
I have Rekon's mounted to my Niner Jet 9 RDO 5* build.29 x 2.4, Tubeless, Folding, Black, 3C Maxx Terra, EXO+, Wide Trail front and rear.They are the prefect tire for "down country", "trail country", aggressive XC, type of riding that I like to do along the CO Front Range.Fast rolling, predictable, solid in the casing I choose, they punch way above their specs on paper.I actually recently contemplated a Forecaster in the front but couldn't get what I wanted so reverted to my trusted Rekon's putting the new one up front and swapping the worn-ish front tire to the rear (sort of now like a Rekon Race but still better).OMG.....it remined me what an absolutely brilliant tire it is in new condition, even in snowy/icy conditions after the first snowfall in CO last ... MoreI have Rekon's mounted to my Niner Jet 9 RDO 5* build.29 x 2.4, Tubeless, Folding, Black, 3C Maxx Terra, EXO+, Wide Trail front and rear.They are the prefect tire for "down country", "trail country", aggressive XC, type of riding that I like to do along the CO Front Range.Fast rolling, predictable, solid in the casing I choose, they punch way above their specs on paper.I actually recently contemplated a Forecaster in the front but couldn't get what I wanted so reverted to my trusted Rekon's putting the new one up front and swapping the worn-ish front tire to the rear (sort of now like a Rekon Race but still better).OMG.....it remined me what an absolutely brilliant tire it is in new condition, even in snowy/icy conditions after the first snowfall in CO last week.I never need to question the Rekon's again! Period. Hands-down the best tire for my style of riding.
I love this tire!!In the 2.6. it reminds me of the old Geax Segauro - supple, tough casing and a fast rolling, grippy contact patch. From Utah desert moon dust to high alpine hero dirt this true has been fast climbing and provides a surprising amount of downhill traction. I run these front and rear on my trail bike and am constantly surprised at how hard I can push them.The taller side knobs (relative to other XC tires) hook up really well. These are great flow trail tires and just rip. They are no mud tire, but have better wet traction than I expected and shed mud surprising well. An absolute great all-rounder, especially in the wider size. Can’t recommend enough.Would be a great tire for riders in dryer climates or those who want something between XC and ... MoreI love this tire!!In the 2.6. it reminds me of the old Geax Segauro - supple, tough casing and a fast rolling, grippy contact patch.

I’ve had a bizarre interaction with this tire...I want to love it. The combo of grip and rolling resistance are amazing as a rear tire, however I can’t consistently keep it from getting punctured right in the middle of the tread.Story time: I put the 2.25” EXO Rekon on the rear of my last bike (2018 Cannondale Scalpel SE 1) about a year ago and had 0 issues, ran it for 6 months til it was almost bald. Got a replacement and got a flat on my first ride out. Thought it was a fluke so plugged it and went out again, another flat. Both were small punctures right in the middle of the tread over mildly rocky XC-type trails here in central Alabama. After puncture 2 I gave up and put a different tire on before I wound up selling the bike.Skip to about 6 weeks ago, bought an ... MoreI’ve had a bizarre interaction with this tire...I want to love it.

After puncture 2 I gave up and put a different tire on before I wound up selling the bike.Skip to about 6 weeks ago, bought an Evil Following V3 and replaced the stock dual DHFs with a Dissector/Rekon combo to get her rolling faster. This time, thinking I’d learned my lesson, I got the 2.4” EXO+ version. The EXO+ version made it a whopping 4 rides before getting punctured right in the middle of the tread, same as before. This time I just took it straight off and put the dissector on the back and a DHF back up front. It’s not perfect, I’d prefer to be able to run the Rekon because it is theoretically a perfect rear tire for my local trails, however after 8 rides the dissector out back has held up great.I should add that I’m not the lightest at 6’4” and 195lbs. Your mileage may vary if you’re sub 160lbs. If you’re over that I wouldn’t risk it. For additional reference the standard EXO was being run at 30 psi and the EXO+ at 28psi so it wasn't like I was just out there pinching it at 16psi or anything. I can’t explain why the first Rekon I tried was perfectly fine and the 2 since have been duds, even with a tougher casing. But with odds like that I couldn’t recommend this tire.
So far a good tire in the front and rear paired with cush core trail. I know this is a bit nit picky, but I believe the discount oem version specifies a yellow Maxxis logo. I'm big on color matching and I am not a fan of yellow. I didn't see anywhere on this product listing where it says the Maxxis logo is yellow, so when I did my unboxing and discovered the yellow logo I was pretty upset. So I was left to wonder Is this a standard for this specific tire, or did I get gyped and whoever sent me the tire sent me the discounted tire that I payed the full price for?
