2024 Maxxis Rekon 29 x 2.4" WT 3C Terra Max EXO TR Introduction

Brand new Maxxis Rekon 29 x 2.4" Wide Trail (WT). Dual 3C MaxxTerra compound. EXO puncture protection casing. Tubeless Ready (TR). New bike take-off - never ridden. Description from Maxxis' website: The Rekon is a light duty trail tire designed to go fast in technical terrain. Category: XC, Trail Recommended use: Hard packed to loose conditions Recommended installation: Front or Rear Bead = Foldable Wide Trail (WT) construction optimizes the tire’s tread layout and profile on today’s modern, wider rims. Traditional tires are designed around older, narrower rims and can create an overly square tire profile, leading to less than optimal performance. WT tires are optimized for a 35mm inner rim width but are proven to work over a range from 30-35mm inner rim widths, depending on the rider’s preference. Maxxis Wide Trail XC tires are optimized for use with 30mm internal width rims, but they will perform well on rims as narrow as 25mm. Maxxis does not recommend rims wider than 30mm or narrower than 25mm 3C MAXXTERRA is an intermediate compound configuration used in select mountain tires. 3C MaxxTerra is softer and offers more traction than 3C MaxxSpeed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than MaxxGrip. Tubeless tires provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tire; and less chance of flatting because there is no tube. Liquid sealants should only be used in the following types of tires: tubeless road, tubular, and tubeless ready. EXO is an extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of select mountain tires. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tire remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for exceptionally rocky, treacherous trails where the chance of sidewall cuts and abrasions is high.
