Fantastic tire
"Fantastic tire"
Good grip on wet terrain
"I was using another tires brand and tried these as recommendation from a friend. First ride was on a dual susp on a semi flat trail with loose over hard but wet terrain and the traction and grip these tires provide is great. I am a heavy rider and feel these tires are great but on wet roots / roots you may feel some slips. Maybe a lower tore pressure on those conditions, but these are to stay on my bike."
Great tires, just wish this
"Great tires, just wish this was available locally in Mexico."
Excellent
"The tire arrived promptly, packaged securely, excellent condition. The tire rides smoothly; comfortable tire noise as expected from a off rode tire. Pleased with my selection. Purchased as replaced for my non-TR Maxxis Ardent."
Great tires, first time using
"Great tires, first time using this brand, and now I see the value. They are worth the price."
Light, easy to install, aired
"Light, easy to install, aired with zero issues. Fast roller super nice on the corners and it seemed to hook up on some greasy wet roots. Good experience for my first ride. Foresthill 11 miles 1600 ft of climbing wet leaves, wet roots, soil was hero dirt. Great day!"
Great tire. Not even close
"Great tire. Not even close to an advanced rider and noticed improved traction. Makes riding more enjoyable."
FAST & QUICK FRONT!
"My first day on my new Rekon 29x2. 4 / 60TPI / EXO / TR Front was EXCELLENT! It spun up fast, rolled FAST, stopped fast, had plenty of GRIP on dirt and rocks, hooked up and tracked right thru hard turns, and felt really quick and flicky in a controllable and great way! Combined with my new Rekon Race 29x2. 25 / 120TPI / EXO / TR Rear, I had my fastest 4. 26mi. race lap at Folsom Lake in 4 years; FIRST DAY! I can't wait to run it again tomorrow on my new Rekon Race and Rekon!"
These are game changers. Twice
"These are game changers. Twice as fast on the trail. Steep hill climbs I was spinning out on I got up with speed and clean control! MAXXIS ALL THE WAY!"
Q&A
- I purchased a Giant that was suppose to have Maxxis Rekon tubeless. But there is a tube in it and it’s not written TR on the side. Is it because it’s an OEM tire and can it be used as a tubeless tire if I modify the rim.
- If you don't see a "TR" tubeless ready badge on the sidewall, then the tire must be used with an inner tube.
- Is this white maxxis logo on the rekons?
- Yes, as the description states the OEM specs have a white Maxxis logo on the sidewall.
