The Rekon Race Tyre features smaller, shorter knobs for a faster, smoother ride. Designed for performance, it's perfect for cross-country and short track racing.Key Features and Benefits:Smaller and shorter knobs: Improves speed and rolling efficiency. Achieves faster lap times while reducing drag on all surfaces.Tubeless Ready (TR): Enables easy setup without inner tubes. This reduces weight, allows for lower tyre pressures, and improves overall traction and comfort.Optimised for rear tyre use: Provides better grip and control when paired with a more aggressive front tyre. Delivers more stable cornering and braking on tough terrain.Dual-purpose design: Works as a front or rear tyre for short track racing. Increases versatility across different racing disciplines, giving you more options for your ride.Maxxis Technologies (Compounds & Casings):MaxxSpeed - The new MaxxSpeed (2023) is our top-shelf rubber compound for XC racing. It s a high-silica content compound which reduces rolling resistance while also enhancing wet traction. Compared to the previous 3C MaxxSpeed, the new compound has approximately 25% less rolling resistance in a lab setting (using the same tread pattern, construction, and tyre pressure). In a real world setting, our testing shows the new compound can save up to a minute over the course of a 90-minute race.EXO - EXO is a cut and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of many Maxxis mountain bike and gravel tyres. This densely woven fabric is lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tyre remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for enhanced durability for gravel, XC, and light-duty trail riding.Wide Trail (WT) - Wide Trail (WT) construction optimises the tyre s tread layout and profile on today s modern, wider rims. Historically, tyres were designed around older, narrower rims which can create an overly square tyre profile, leading to suboptimal performance. Our Wide Trail (2.40-2.50 width) tyres are optimised 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.Built for riders aiming for speed, the Maxxis Rekon Race tyre delivers smoother rolling and puncture resistance in competitive environments. Its dual-purpose design lets you configure it to meet specific racing needs, whether you're tackling technical terrain or racing on short tracks.Ride with confidence and get the competitive edge that the Rekon Race Tyre provides. Take your racing performance up a notch with a tyre made for winning.
