The MAXXIS REKON RACE is a high-performance mountain bike tire designed specifically for cross country (XC) racing, combining speed and durability in one lightweight package. Its semi-slick tread pattern features the lowest profile in the XC lineup, making it ideal for dry XC trails and fast short track racing.
- Dual compound for enhanced grip and acceleration
- 60 TPI or 120 TPI casing options for tailored durability

- Wide Trail (WT) sizing optimized for 30mm inner width rims
- Tubeless Ready (TR) options for reduced flats and improved rolling efficiency
Compared to industry standards, the REKON RACE offers a unique balance of speed and protection with its dual-compound tread and advanced EXO sidewalls—features often reserved for higher-end or more specialized tires. Its low-profile tread reduces rolling resistance without sacrificing the confidence needed on technical XC courses, outperforming many previous models that had deeper, more aggressive designs unsuitable for faster, drier conditions.
Key Technical Advantages:
The Maxxis Rekon Race tire leverages a dual compound construction that provides both exceptional traction during cornering and minimal rolling resistance on straights. Its 60 TPI or 120 TPI casing options allow riders to prioritize either weight savings or extra durability depending on their racing style. The EXO sidewall technology is a key advantage for trail riders needing protection against sharp rocks and debris, significantly reducing the risk of punctures. Coupled with Wide Trail sizing engineered for modern 30mm rim widths, this tire delivers optimized contact patch and pressure distribution, enhancing control and ride comfort on rugged terrain.
Technology and Performance
The foldable and tubeless-ready design of the MAXXIS REKON RACE facilitates quick installation and maintenance, while reducing overall weight for competitive edge. Its tubeless compatibility greatly minimizes flats and allows for lower tire pressures, increasing traction without compromising speed. This mountain bike tyre is specifically crafted to take on XC off-road challenges, delivering a smooth, responsive ride that maximizes both power transfer and cornering precision on dry, fast trails. For serious riders seeking a reliable and high-performance XC tire, the MAXXIS REKON RACE stands out as a top contender in its category.
