Maxxis Rekon Race 29 x 2.25" Tire - Black, 120 TPI, EXO/TR

A Fast Semi-Slick for Dry XC and Short Track

The Rekon Race is the lowest-profile tread in Maxxis's XC line — a semi-slick that borrows its pattern from the trail Rekon, then shortens the knobs so the tire rolls faster on hardpack. This 29 x 2.25" version is the 120 TPI race casing with EXO sidewall protection and a Dual compound, so you get a lighter, more supple tire that still has a cut- and abrasion-resistant sidewall for everyday trail abuse.

It's Tubeless Ready, with a folding bead, and Maxxis rates it to 60 PSI. Run it tubeless with sealant and you can drop the pressure for more grip without giving up that fast-rolling center. Official weight is 737 g (ETRTO 57-622).

Whether you're racing short track, putting in dry XC miles, or pairing a fast rear tire with a more aggressive front, this is the black 120 TPI EXO/TR spec we stock for 29" race and trail bikes.

Maxxis is a Taiwanese tire company, founded in 1967, and its XC tires are a familiar sight at the front of cross-country fields and on shop race bikes alike.
