The rubber compound of the 3C MaxxSpeed has been optimised in order to keep rolling resistance low and to increase durability and traction. This makes this compound ideal for pure speed and acceleration after cornering.
EXO Protection
EXO Protection is a wear-resistant protective layer in the sidewalls of the tyre. This protective layer offers excellent protection against cuts in the sides. Thanks to the densely woven material of this layer, the tyre can be lightweight and extremely flexible so that its performance is not affected.
Tubeless Ready
The Maxxis Rekon 3C MaxxSpeed EXO TR is tubeless ready, which means it can be used without an inner tube. Riding tubeless has many important advantages including lower rolling resistance, more grip, more control and additional comfort.

Top band, good value for money.
Top tire. Super fast and plenty of grip. Even in winter. Been riding Maxxis for years.
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
XC/trail curves king
I think the Rekon series are pretty much the fastest XC/Trail tires Maxxis has. I tested all of Maxxis' XC/trail tires and stuck with the Rekon MaxxSpeed as a front tire and the Aspen as a rear tire. The Rekon Race does still feel just a bit faster than the Aspen, but the Aspen has just the slightly better grip during climbs. This front tire is ideal for hard cornering, especially on sandy forest trails in the Netherlands. In Limburg, the tire also performs well. Where the tire fails is on wet, muddy or damp clay-like surfaces. The tread is not designed for that. I do not consider this a disadvantage, because the tire was not designed for that. I ride the tire myself on a 27mm rim and it falls very nicely. I wouldn't go below 25mm, the side studs are too far from the center and transition studs and the tire has a dead zone if you steer it sharply (I've noticed this on a 20mm rim). As a rear tire the tire is also top notch, with possibly another rekon in front or more something like a Forekaster or High Roller II for trails.
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
It just fits on the front wheel.
For a Maxxis, it was unusually coy when mounting tubeless with only a pump, but in the end it gave way. Fits, holds tight and has a very good grip on dry terrain with little rolling resistance.
