Escapa always finds the best options on the market to enhance your rides; this time, we’re featuring the Maxxis Rekon Race 29-inch tire.
EXO
EXO is a cut- and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of many Maxxis mountain bike and gravel tires. This dense fabric is lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that tire performance isn’t compromised. Choose EXO protection for greater durability on gravel, XC, and light Trail riding.
Tubeless Ready
Tubeless tires offer riders many advantages: the ability to use lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance compared to a tube-type tire; and a lower risk of punctures since there is no inner tube. Liquid sealants should only be used on the following types of tires: road tubeless, tubular, and tubeless-Ready.
WIDE TRAIL
The Wide Trail (WT) construction optimizes the tire’s tread pattern and profile for today’s modern, wider rims. Traditional tires are designed for older, narrower rims and can create a profile that is too square, resulting in suboptimal performance. WT tires are optimized for an inner rim width of 35 mm, but have been shown to perform well across a range of inner rim widths from 30–35 mm, depending on the rider’s preferences.
