Maxxis Rekon 3C/SilkShield/EXO/TR Tire 27.5 Plus

The Maxxis Rekon 3CSilkShieldEXOTR 27. 5 Plus Tire improves upon the XC specific Ikon with a more aggressive tread pattern that inspires confidence when you're rolling down technical terrain with speed. Widely spaced knobs down the middle ensure braking control while L shaped side knobs maintain cornering composure and support. It's still a relatively fast rolling tire, making it an ideal choice for the rear of your plus sized trail rig, or as a front and rear tire for those riding on hard buffed trails and smooth XC loops. This particular version of the Rekon featuers 3C Maxx Terra compound for heightened levels of grip and control, as the triple layer compound is much softer for improved traction. EXO reinforcement is extremely cut and abrasion resistant, preventing pesky flats from stopping you from completing your daily ride or weekend epic. Going even further to prevent flats, SilkShield provides bead to bead protection for additional sidewall reinforcement. This double whammy of cut and abrasion protection is essential for a plus sized tire, as running lower pressures often results in getting flats and punctures from sharp rocks and trail debris.
