Features of the Maxxis Rekon Race 29 x 2.40 Tyre

• Low-Profile Tread: Flatter central knobs minimise rolling resistance for maximum speed on hardpack trails and asphalt, with L-shaped side lugs for secure cornering in loose or sloping terrain.

• EXO Sidewall Protection: Lightweight, cut- and abrasion-resistant material ensures durability on rocky or dry trails.

• Tubeless-Ready (TR): Supports lower pressures (2.4-4.1 bar, 34-60 PSI) for improved traction, reduced punctures, and enhanced ride comfort.

• Optimised Rim Fit: Designed for 30-40mm inner width rims with a minimum 6mm frame/fork clearance, ensuring optimal performance on modern XC setups.

• Recommended Use: Ideal as a rear tyre paired with a more aggressive front tyre like the Maxxis Ikon or for front and rear in short-track racing and dry conditions.
