The latest in our long line of World Cup-winning XC tyres is the new Rekon Race! This semi-slick tyre borrows its tread design from the trail version of the Rekon but with smaller and shorter knobs. Use it as a rear tyre paired with a more aggressive front tread or front and rear for short track racing. Semi-slick XC race tyre Specification Conditions: Hardpack Cornering Control: 1 2 3 4 Rolling Efficiency: 1 2 3 4 TPI: 120 Bead: Foldable Ply Construction: Single Compound: Dual Tech: Tubeless Ready EXO Technology Tubeless Ready: Tubeless tyres provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tyre; and less chance of flatting since there is no tube. Maxxis Tubeless Ready TR tyres provide the benefits of a UST tubeless tyre without the weight penalty. Our TR tyres use a standard casing and require the use of a liquid sealant in order to make them airtight. EXO: An extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of select mountain tyres. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible ensuring that the performance of the tyre remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for exceptionally rocky treacherous trails where the chance of sidewall cuts and abrasions is high.
