Maxxis Rekon 29" folding tire dual-compound

All mountain or off-road

The Maxxis Rekon 2.60 is a very voluminous tire that you can use for daily tours, you can shred eagerly in the forest and on the AllMountain, but also manage detours into rougher terrain. The TR version with EXO sidewall protection is designed for driving without a tube with sealing milk, but like all TR tires can also be driven with a tube. We recommend the Rekon primarily on the rear wheel, which can best be combined with a 2.60 Forekaster at the front, but also with coarser profiles. 2.60WT wide tires generally have a WT construction, but no WT marking on the tire sidewall.

Technical specification

Technologies used

In this chapter we explain the technologies that the manufacturer uses for this product.

DualCompound
Two different rubber compounds are processed into a tread strip. We plan the arrangement of the compounds according to the desired properties of the tires.

EXO protection
This extremely cut and abrasion resistant material protects the sidewall of various MTB tires. It is very tightly woven, light and very flexible. As a result, the performance of the tires remains convincingly good.

Tubeless Ready (TR)
Tubeless tires have many advantages: You can drive with less air pressure. This gives you better traction and reduces rolling resistance. And where there is no hose, the risk of a breakdown also decreases. MAXXIS TR tires are better prepared for assembly with sealing milk than other "tubeless ready" tires. Like a real UST tubeless tire, the bead of the TR tire is completely covered with a rubber layer. As a result, tubing-free assembly is successful on all rims with standard dimensions when they are inflated for the first time and with little liquid. “Normal” MAXXIS MTB tires can also be fitted with tubeless sealant like tires from other manufacturers because the carcass fabric is very dense. Only the new MAXXIS TR models are officially approved for tubeless assembly and guaranteed by MAXXIS. The tubeless assembly of other models is at your own risk.

Wide trail casing
The Wide Trail (WT) construction optimizes the tread layout and tire shape on today's modern wider rims. Traditional tires are developed for narrow rims and are too angular in shape on wide rims and thus not exactly optimal performance. WT tires are optimized for an inner rim width of 35 mm, but work excellently on all rims with an inner dimension between 30 and 39 mm.
