What Makes the Maxxis Rekon Race a Standout XC Tire?

The Maxxis Rekon Race bridges the gap between aggressive trail traction and XC race speed, using a tread derived from the Rekon but with lower-profile knobs designed to minimize rolling resistance without surrendering the grip that technical terrain demands. Braking and climbing knobs run down the center for reliable control under power, while L-shaped side knobs provide the cornering bite needed to hold aggressive lines at speed. The result is a tire that rewards confident, committed riding across a wide range of conditions.

At 29 x 2.4, the Rekon Race offers more volume than traditional XC sizing for improved traction and comfort on rougher courses. The tubeless-ready construction works best at lower pressures where the tread can conform to the terrain and deliver its full performance potential. Whether you are racing a marathon, lapping a local XC course, or just hammering trail rides, the Rekon Race is a tire that keeps up without slowing you down.
