The Maxxis Rekon emulates the fast-rolling speed of the XC-inspired Ikon, but it's a little more beefed up with wider knobs down the middle for additional control under heavy braking, and L-shaped side knobs to keep us stable while cornering at high speeds. This particular Rekon features the 3C Maxx Terra compound, which uses a softer shoulder for exceptional grip while cornering, complete with a medium compound down the center to retain its fast-rolling capabilities. Underneath both compounds is a harder rubber that resists breakdown as you wear through the tire over time.
