Maxxis Rekon Race EXO/TR MTB folding tire 29"x2.40

The Maxxis Rekon Race EXO/TR is a folding tire in size 29"x2.40, equivalent to 61-622. The tire is made for XC and marathon riding, where low weight, grip, and speed need to work together. The wide 2.40" profile provides good contact with the ground, and the tread pattern is designed to keep rolling resistance at a reasonable level without giving up stability when the trail gets loose, soft, or uneven.

• EXO Protection: Extra protection in the sidewalls that reduces the risk of damage and provides medium puncture protection.
• Tubeless Ready: Can be set up without an inner tube, making it easier to run lower tire pressure for better grip and fewer pinch flats.
• Folding tire: Foldable construction with lower weight than a traditional wire bead tire and easier to carry as a spare on rides or for racing.
• Tread pattern: Developed to combine speed and control, making the tire well suited to fast trails and long races.
• Surface: Suitable for asphalt and gravel, forest trails and loose surfaces, as well as mud and soft trails.

Rolling resistance is rated as medium, which fits a tire that is meant to be used broadly and not only on completely hard-packed trails. That makes the Rekon Race an obvious choice for riders who want a tire that keeps the pace up while still having enough volume and tread to work in changing terrain. This tire fits 29" wheels with a 622 mm rim diameter and delivers a good balance of speed, grip, and reliability.
