2.25" wide bicycle tyres

The Rekon is an aggressive trail tire for intermediate and technical terrain. Wide knobs down the middle provide control under braking and L-shaped side knobs assure support when carving loose turns. With confidence like this you can race more and scout less. FEATURES:
- Dual Compound: Offers low rolling resistance and increased cornering traction
- 3C MaxxTerra Compound: An intermediate triple compound configuration used across our mountain tire line. The 3C MaxxTerra compound offers more traction than 3C MaxxSpeed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than MaxxGrip, which makes it ideal for trail riding in all conditions.

Aggressive cross-country courses of today require aggressive and fast-rolling tires to suit the bill. We'll run these tires full-time on our cross-country bike and then swap the wheels right to our trail bikes. Lots of knobs mean tons of traction, and the low profile takes away rolling resistance. Weight is a priority with the Rekons as well, so we're spinning up to speed faster than anyone else on course.

The Rekon Race EXO/TR Tire 29in is a semi-slick XC race tire designed to excel on hardpack terrain. It taps into the design of the effective Rekon trail tire, but uses smaller and shorter knobs that accelerate quickly and roll notably faster than the trail version. Use it as a rear tire paired with a more aggressive front, or run it front and rear for a speedy setup for short track racing. The Rekon Race employs a supple casing that conforms to trail obstacles for smooth damping, paired with Maxxis's Dual Compound rubber that strikes a good balance between high grip and long wear life. EXO sidewall protection resists slices from jagged rocks, delivering that characteristic Maxxis puncture protection …

The original Crossmark set the standard for cleaning fast, technical hardpack, and its successor looks to be even better. The Maxxis Crossmark II EXO/TR 29in Tire boasts the same tightly packed, fast-rolling center knob strip as its predecessor, with updated side knobs and overall tread pattern for even better cornering and grip whether you're on buffed out, smooth singletrack or shredding dry, dust-covered hardpack. In addition to that fast-rolling center ridge and grippy side knobs, Maxxis includes EXO sidewall protection for increased durability and a tubeless-ready bead so you can lose the tube and drop the pressure for a smoother, pinch-flat-free ride.

Riding technical XC? The Barzo is the choice of the 2015 World Champion, as well as the winner of the BC Bike Race. How can such an aggressive XC tire roll so fast? The magic starts in the center tread, where we place an alternating ridge design, and progressive sipe angles. Cornering duties are handled by the moto-style block knobs, laid out in a proven V-formation. The result is a tire that corners as fast as it rolls, while still offering the protection of a full depth tread. Rocks and roots? Check. World Championship? Check. FEATURES:
- Aggressive XC tread for the most technical terrain
- Medium spaced knobs for a range of terrain and conditions

What’s the best way to make short work of serious gnar? Apart from 200mm of travel and nerves of steel, it’s the Maxxis Ardent EXO 29in Tire. It’s got the size to roll over the chunkiest trail furniture like it’s not even there, the blocky side knobs to corner like it’s on rails, and the ramped center knobs to roll like it’s got somewhere to be. The rolling resistance is surprisingly low, but the stopping power is enough to come to a halt on a dime and bring back nine cents change. The Ardent’s also situated to run tubeless, so you can enjoy the grip that comes with lower pressures and not have to fuss with tubes. Its dual-compound rubber is perfectly balanced between sticky grip and hard-charg…
