MaxxisRekon - 3C MaxxTerra - 29, 27.5 - EXO, EXO+ - E25 Rating, Tubeless | Light-Duty Trail Tire

I actually like the tire, its a decent mix of fast rolling but not XC race tire sketchy, so I was planning on running it as a rear tire for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately that is all probably changing now as I found after just one year there are significant cracks forming in the outer rubber all the way around the tire. It is no where near time to be replacing the tires as they only see use on mild Indiana trails and is stored in a garage but this one looks like it is about ready to start chunking off blocks of tread.It was a relatively new tire design when I ordered it so I don't think that I can blame a seller for pulling 5 year old stock off the back of the shelf. Maybe Maxxis just didn't get the rubber compound right on this one? Have Minions and Ikons that are older and in better shape.

Best front tire ever! I switched a DHF 2.5 for the Rekon 2.4 and not only is the bike much lighter, the grip is 2 to 3 times better on loose over hard/sand dry trails I ride. I'm an agresivo rider always try to break less and less on flat turns to be better at it and this tire changed the game for ever. The round profile looking down at it makes for super predictable cornering whether you lean a little or a lot you get the same confidence which translates to faster turns. Will always buy this tire from now on with the 3C compound.

This tire, 27.5x2.4WT, is 840 grams. Its overweight from Maxxis claim weight of 780 grams. Overweight by 60 grams. Its overweight than the tire it replaced, DHR II 2.3 at 810 grams.

I was looking for a fast tire and better in the turns than the ardent. These tires do have the grip I was looking for and they are decent speed. They are not bad in the wet and light mud trails. So far I’m enjoying then and will see how long they last.

Great tire! Grips well and rolls fast. A nice tire to it all.

This is the perfect tire for Mtn biking in the Moab area
