Reviews over the

Maxxis Rekon Race EXO TR

Because of the quality of this tubeless tyre, I only need to replace it when the heads are worn out after about 4000km. In all that time, I never ride flat. I use them on Curacao with its prickles and sharp rocks and consistently buy the same Maxxis tyres because they are so reliable. This tyre also gives good grip on sandy hills and gravel slopes.

Pros & Cons

Maxxis Aspen at the back was worn out and looking for new rear tyre,at the front I ride with Rekon

Pros & Cons

We are very satisfied with the Maxxis tyres, we have been cycling with them for years in the Netherlands but also in Austria in the mountains, never any punctures, the wear and tear on these tyres is not too bad, you can play around with the tyre in terms of air pressure, we don't want any other brand.

For years I rode the original outer tires on my MTB. Tires with large studs, which were not at all suitable for NL conditions (in retrospect). This tire gives so much more grip in corners, saves a lot of braking and acceleration.

Pros & Cons

I love this tire and have been using it for over 5 years on the rear of my epic evo. In the south of France, even with the aggressive terrain we have, it doesn't flinch. Wear a little faster than other models. I recommend

Pros & Cons

Super grip and the rolling resistance is relatively low

Pros & Cons

This tire in summer use and is very fast. Less suitable in mud and slippery conditions.

Pros & Cons

It puts too wide on the rim which makes it not tubbles.

60 TPI for the Tanwall model, not indicated on the site. I put back the black models for the returns.

Pros & Cons

Received quickly and looks super on a black carbon bike!

Pros & Cons

Good tire which gives great grip

Pros & Cons

top service

Pros & Cons

I wear the rekon race tire on the rear and it's very good, it's rolling without ballast.

Pros & Cons

The rekon race is for me a topper on the Dutch trails . Ride it with the ardent race as a front tire both in size 2.35 .

Pros & Cons

Good grip on dry surfaces. Rolls smoothly.

Pros & Cons

Rolls better than the coarse tread of the non-"race" version. Therefore, this is a typical rear tyre and less suitable as a front tyre

Pros & Cons

Felt sturdier than the swalble I kept puncturing. Yet very Easy to mount tubeless. Very fast rolling yet great dry cornering grip.

Pros & Cons

Previously sometimes front tyre slipping (ardent race), now better with this rekon race

Pros & Cons

Top tyres for good grip

Pros & Cons

Despite the small studs, the tyre still gives a lot of confidence

Pros & Cons

It replaces the original wheel, which is considerably more expensive.

Pros & Cons

Tyre that does an excellent job in dry and slightly wet conditions. In muddy or rocky environments, it performs less well, especially as a front tyre.

Pros & Cons

Mounted and tubed straight away and on the first lap already put to the test in mud and snow Excellent result but let's see how long it lasts

Pros & Cons

Ridden drunese dunes today What grip with the.e tyre

Pros & Cons

I opted for the 2.25 in 120TPI, front and rear. What a fast and nice and smooth tyre ! And has really top grip in corners, much more than you would expect from such a tyre. Even performs well on wet ground. Great tyre for most Dutch routes.

Pros & Cons

I’ve used these all season on the rear and they have proven to be faultless. They don’t give you much braking grip but I rely on the front for the final bite. I used them on the front but found them to be a little too light on grip on natural single track.

Pros & Cons

An experienced MTB rider had recommended these tyres to me for fast XC cycling on Dutch trails. For that, it is perfect! A much better tyre than the standard cheap Maxxis tyres that had been supplied on my bike from the shop.

Pros & Cons

Great fast delivery

Pros & Cons

Good feeling mounted on the rear wheel.

Pros & Cons

good grip and little resistance so good roll/grip

Pros & Cons

2.35 falls nicely round/bulb on a 30mm INNER width rim. Chance of punctures low, based on the terrain I have already ridden in with this tyre, I dare say. Wear acceptable. Very easy TL fitting. Ride the Rekon Race both front and rear. No surprises.

Pros & Cons

Best price and fast everything excellent

Top bandjes, rollen goed en redelijk veel grip (meer dan verwacht). Tanwalls zijn iets donkerder in het echt maarja dat zijn maar looks.

Pros & Cons

Top bandjes, rollen goed en redelijk veel grip (meer dan verwacht). Tanwalls zijn iets donkerder in het echt maarja dat zijn maar looks.

Pros & Cons

Seem great, easy to fit and fast-rolling with low profile central knobs. Haven't ridden on them much yet though.

Pros & Cons

I use this tyre as a front tyre with an Aspen 2.25 as a rear tyre. A very nice tyre combination. An Aspen tyre as a front tyre gives just too little grip and this Race Rekon does not let you down in the sharper corners.

Pros & Cons

For dry surfaces a super tyre. When wet, I still prefer the regular rekon from maxxis. It really gives a lot of grip. It also feels like the carcass of the ordinary rekon is slightly firmer. It searches a little less

Pros & Cons

Good price for nice tyre. Delivered quickly!

Pros & Cons

I was using the Ikon, I wanted a bit more grip without penalising the rolling. They are a little heavier, but they are more comfortable and durable. Used on 25mm internal width rim.

Pros & Cons

Great tyre as long as the surface is dry and hard. If it is a bit damp or muddy, the Rekon Race quickly reaches its limits.

Finally it's here ! Ok, to be honest, my choice of tyres might be a bit idiosyncratic but I am happy that Maxxis now makes a tyre I have been looking for for a while. I like to ride with 30mm internal rims for extra strength. A 2.25 tyre is just nothing because of the bulge and a 2.35 is then the minimum that fits nicely on it. The Rekon race is one of the few in 2.35 with a very small stud, which is sufficient in the Netherlands but is also available in ern skinwall. A fast and light rolling tyre with excellent grip on Dutch trails. In heavy rain and mud, not the right choice, but just in dry weather the perfect hill tyre.
