Description
The Rekon Mountain Bike Tire is engineered for riders who demand precision on challenging trails while maintaining speed on XC routes. Perfect for intermediate to advanced cyclists tackling loose soil, hardpack transitions, or technical singletrack sections, this 29-inch tire combines aggressive tread patterns with lightweight efficiency to elevate your off-road adventures. Its central tread features ramped knobs that slice through loose terrain while delivering confident braking power on steep descents—ideal for maintaining control when pushing limits on uneven surfaces. On turns and corners, the L-shaped side lugs grip firmly into loose gravel or rocky edges, providing stability even when carving through tight switchbacks at high speeds.
Crafted as a tubeless-ready clincher with a folding bead design, the Rekon balances durability and agility. The 60 TPI casing offers robust puncture resistance without compromising suppleness for a smooth ride over roots and rocks. With sidewall flat protection and an ISO width of 61mm (29×2.4″), it’s built to handle moderate trail conditions while adapting seamlessly to XC setups that require both speed and grip. Available in Tan or Black/Dark Tan hues, its tread profile ensures visibility on varied terrains while blending into rugged landscapes.
Why Choose the Rekon?
Designed for riders who prioritize versatility in technical conditions—whether navigating loose dirt over hardpack or tackling loose XC trails—the Rekon excels where other tires falter. Its ramped center tread reduces rolling resistance compared to chunkier all-mountain tires yet outperforms XC-specific models in braking scenarios. The L-shaped side lugs provide cornering traction rivaling aggressive trail tires but with lighter weight and faster transitions between corners and straights.
| Feature | Rekon | Standard XC Tires | Aggressive Trail Tires |
|---|---|---|---|
| Braking Performance | Superior on loose/technical terrain | Moderate | Heavier rolling resistance |
| Cornering Traction | Sharp bite in loose turns | Limited grip on rough corners | Slower transitions |
| Weight | Lightweight folding bead | Lighter | Heavier |
| Flat Protection | Reinforced sidewalls | Minimal | Moderate |
Whether you’re racing against clocked splits or exploring uncharted trails, the Rekon’s blend of speed and control lets you focus less on navigation and more on pushing boundaries. Its tubeless-ready setup pairs perfectly with sealant for added reliability on long rides through rocky or root-strewn paths. For riders seeking a tire that thrives in loose conditions without sacrificing XC efficiency—the Rekon delivers unmatched confidence where others compromise.
