The Maxxis Rekon+ 3C Maxx Terra EXO TR 120TPI Folding Tyre 27. 5 x 2. 80" is an aggressive trail tyre that shares a lot of DNA and is inspired by the Maxxis Ikon, delivering great performance and control in intermediate and technical terrain. With the Maxxis Rekon+ 3C Maxx Terra EXO TR 120TPI Folding Tyre 27. 5 x 2. 80 youll find plenty of breaking control thanks to the wide centre knobs and carving through loose corners is easy as ever with the L-shaped side knobs offering plenty of support. Using a unique 3 compound approach, Maxxis has designed 3C Maxx Terra to provide a soft compound on the shoulders (outer edges of the tyre tread) a medium compound in the centre and a hard compound on the base layer (area closest to your inner tube). What this means is you'll have better traction than 3C Maxx Speed yet still have a longer life with better tread wear and less rolling resistance than 3C Maxx Grip EXO Protection means your tyres are equipped with an extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant sidewall, the woven material doesn't compromise on performance and is still super lightweight. If you ride on trails with loose rocks or quite natural and treacherous by design you'll appreciate the added protection Maxxis EXO provides. This tyre is ready to provide you with heaps of benefits when you set it up tubeless with a tubeless compatible rim! With a tubeless setup you can run lower air pressure in your tyres allowing better deflection meaning better traction, and lower rolling resistance - you'll also get less flats than with an inner tube as liquid sealant can help block any small punctures in the tyre keeping you riding for longer!
