FAQ

Is the wire bead Rekon tubeless ready?: No. This is the wire bead version of the Rekon, which is not tubeless ready. Wire bead tires lack the tubeless seal at the bead and the reinforced casing required to hold sealant pressure. If you need a tubeless setup, look at the folding bead Rekon with EXO/TR designation.

What trail conditions does the Rekon work best in?: The Rekon shines on hard-packed to loose XC and trail terrain. The ramped center knobs roll efficiently, and the L-shaped side lugs deliver predictable cornering grip on loose-over-hard PNW dirt. It is a fast rolling option that still holds an edge.

What is the recommended tire pressure?: Yes, the wire bead Rekon is rated to 65 PSI max, the same as the folding bead version. Most trail riders run it between 22 and 28 PSI with a tube depending on rider weight and terrain. Lighter riders and smoother trails sit at the low end.

How is this different from the folding bead Rekon?: This is the budget-friendly wire bead version using a single compound and 60 TPI casing without EXO sidewall protection or tubeless capability. The folding bead Rekons add 3C MaxxTerra compound, EXO puncture protection, and tubeless ready beads at a higher price. Pick wire for replacement jobs, folding for performance builds.

Best For
