Product Details

Overview & Technology

Maxxis Rekon+ brings a wider, more confidence-inspiring platform to the proven Rekon family. Built around Maxxis' 3C Maxx Terra triple-compound, the Rekon+ balances grip and rolling efficiency: a firmer center rubber for speed and durability combined with softer shoulder compounds for predictable bite in corners. The Rekon+ features a 120 TPI folding carcass and EXO sidewall protection — a densely woven fabric layer that guards against cuts and abrasion without overly compromising suppleness. At 27.5"x2.80 and ~780g, it’s tubeless-ready and tuned to deliver traction and floatation on loose, technical trails while remaining light enough for aggressive XC efforts.

Key Features & Benefits

High-TPI, supple casing: The 120 TPI casing produces a responsive ride that tracks small bumps and improves traction. You'll notice better compliance on roots and rocks versus lower-TPI, heavier tires. 3C Maxx Terra & tread design: Triple-compound construction uses a firmer center for reduced rolling resistance and reinforced braking, while softer shoulder compounds increase cornering grip and predictability. The knob layout balances quick acceleration with confident braking and lateral bite on steep, technical lines.

Fit, Size & Compatibility

The Rekon+ listed here is labeled 27.5" x 2.80 (ISO 584) with a folding bead and tubeless-ready construction. It’s compatible with rims that support plus-size tires — we recommend an internal rim width in the 30–45mm range for optimal profile and sidewall support. Always verify frame and fork clearance before buying; 2.8" tires demand more room than standard 2.25–2.6" tires. Maxxis offers the Rekon family in multiple variants (27.5x2.60, 29x2.25, 29x2.60, etc.) and different compounds/casings, so choose Rekon+ for added traction and floatation, or a narrower Rekon if weight and nimble handling are the priority. Note: this Rekon+ SKU (Part #: TB96906100, Product #: 011492) is not e-bike approved.

Who It's For

The Rekon+ is aimed at riders who want aggressive trail capability without the full weight penalty of big DH tires: intermediate to advanced XC and trail riders tackling technical climbs, loose descents and tight switchbacks. If your rides mix fast cross-country sections with steep, gnarly singletrack, the Rekon+ gives the extra traction and cornering security you need. Not ideal for riders who prioritize minimal rolling weight for long race stages; for racing-oriented XC, consider narrower Rekon or a Maxx Speed compound option. The Rekon+ excels when traction and confidence matter most.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Maxxis Rekon+ 27.5x2.80 tubeless-ready?

Yes — this Rekon+ is Tubeless Ready (TR). Run it with a compatible tubeless rim, quality sealant and proper seating to enjoy lower pressures, improved traction and fewer pinch flats. Follow standard tubeless mounting procedures and check the bead seating carefully on first inflation.

What does 3C Maxx Terra mean and how will it feel?

3C Maxx Terra is Maxxis' triple-compound construction: a firmer center compound for reduced rolling resistance and durability, and softer shoulder compounds for cornering grip. On trail this translates to faster, more efficient rolling down the middle of the tread and confidence-inspiring bite when leaning into turns.

Will this tire fit my bike?

That depends on your frame and fork clearance. The Rekon+ 27.5x2.80 requires substantial clearance compared to standard 2.2–2.4" tyres. We recommend checking manufacturer specs or measuring brake caliper, chainstay and fork arch clearance. Also pair with an internal rim width around 30–45mm for ideal tire profile.

Can I use the Rekon+ on an e-MTB?

No — this specific Rekon+ SKU is not e-bike approved by Maxxis. E-bike-approved tires use reinforced casings designed for higher torque and heat; using a non-approved tire on an e-MTB may reduce durability and void warranties.

What tire pressure should I run?

Maxxis lists a maximum PSI of 35 for this model, but ideal trail pressures depend on rider weight, rim width and conditions. Start around 18–25 PSI for most trail riders and adjust: lower for traction and compliance, higher for support and avoiding burps. Use sealant and tubeless setup to safely run lower pressures.

How durable are the sidewalls — is EXO enough for rocky trails?

EXO sidewall protection offers a lightweight, cut-resistant fabric layer that shields against abrasion and small cuts common on rocky trails. It's a good balance of protection and suppleness, but if you regularly hit sharp rocks or ride heavy e-bikes, consider stronger casings (e.g., EXO+ or thicker plies) for maximum durability.

Buying Guide

When choosing a mountain tire for technical trails, prioritize the balance between traction, puncture protection and rolling resistance. Wider plus-size tires like the Rekon+ (2.8") offer more flotation and grip on loose or rooty terrain but add rotating mass — ideal for riders who favor confidence and control over marginal weight savings. Look for a tubeless-ready, higher-TPI casing (120 TPI or above) for suppleness and traction, and choose protective features like EXO sidewalls when you expect abrasive rock gardens. Match tire width to rim internal width and always check clearance; for tubeless setups, use quality sealant and tune pressures to your weight and trail conditions for best performance.
