Review on 🚲 MAXXIS Rekon Dual Compound EXO Tubeless Ready Folding Tire: Unleash Your Ride with Ultimate Versatility! by Mike Wallace

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Beautiful tire! - Tires and Tubes

This tire is awesome! I just upgraded my bike - traded in my 10 year old Specialized Enduro for a 2018 Pivot Mach 5.5 - this bike is amazing! In terms of tire size and performance - I have a bike with 3" tires and I think they are a little big. Pivot and Maxxis tried to find a sweet spot between the 2.2 and 2.3 we all rode and the big 3 inch tires and I think they did a great job with that. This size 2.6 does not fold and my rims are designed to fit these tires. Apparently this was an issue with some of the larger tires. This size offers a noticeable improvement in traction and still feels lively and controlled. I ride a lot on mud, rocks and roots and everything is great! A friend of mine has this tire for his 2.8" Yeti SB5 and loves it but like I said I think you should have a rim that can handle that many tires. My bike is no bigger than 2.6 so can't comment on that but it's a great tire. For your health!
