Review by Bo HanlinReviewed 10/28/2022by Bo HanlinNCFast RollerI use this tire for more hardpacked dirt trails here in central NC, has great grip in the corners & berms.
Does not like mud too much.
Overall an excellent fast tire.

Review by RCReviewed 10/23/2020by RC2 of 3 customers found this review helpful.Not for the frontI tried running this as a front tire. When sand got deep, it did not track and would pull to one side. On dry loose over hard it could cut loose very suddenly with little warning. I knew the tires tendency and had ordered a different tire, but was still riding the rekon and crashed bad when it let go, no traction on dry loose terrain.

Review by AdamReviewed 2/19/2019by AdamCycling EnthusiastEdmonton, AB5 of 6 customers found this review helpful.27.5 x 2.4 RekonI haven't been able to put these tires through their paces yet but I can comment on constructiondesign
The WT casing works great on 30mm (inner) wide rims, the profile is much rounder than traditional casings and the side knobs are better positioned for cornering.
I'm not sure if Maxxis has changedimproved materials for their tubeless ready tires but these Rekons are holding air much better than my old Minions or Ardents, so far I'm losing approx. 1-2 psi per week with the Rekons vs. 5-10 psi for the others.
I'll update my review once I've had a chance to properly beat these tires up on the trail.
