⭕ Maxxis Rekon Race XC/Trail Tyre
The Maxxis Rekon Race bridges XC and light trail riding — its low-profile centre tread rolls faster than full enduro knobs while providing enough side-knob bite for moderate singletrack. Orbea specifies it on the Oiz M-Team XC race bike; Yeti uses it on the SB115 trail/XC; Trek fits it to the Fuel EX in cross-country-biased builds. The MaxxSpeed Exo casing is the lightest reinforced casing Maxxis offers, combining the high-end Rekon Race with protection against sidewall slices — the compromise between racing weight and real-trail durability.
