Well Maxxis Is At It Again.......Rekon Race

[mtnbikej]

Is there a huge difference other than .05" between the 2.35 and 2.4WT? If I go tan wall, I'll need to get the 2.35.

Depends on how wide the rims are.

on the rear I don’t notice the WT tire on a narrower rim.

on the front I notice the WT tire on a narrower rim.

But it really depends on how narrow. 28/29mm rim doesn’t matter. 25/26mm….I don’t like it.


the thing to look out for is the tan wall Dual Compound or 3C?

I think he’s talking about the Rekon Race….different animals.

Yep. I should keep my mouth shut more often.

The tan walls are DC, Rekon and Rekon Race alike. Not sure if I'd notice not having a 3C in the front. The more I see the tan walls, the more I want them.

Found another pic on the interweb.

So yeah. Ordered up a Rekon/Rekon Race combo in tan wall flavor. Both EXO/DC. Pushed them pretty hard today in Sycamore Canyon which is loose over hardpack but mostly hardpack and they did great. Not once did they let loose even though I overshot a few corners. The Rekon Race does so well on the rear that I wouldn't hesitate running one on the front just to shed a few grams and decrease rolling resistance. Now, how long will they last?
