vs
Tires Maxxis or PHANTOM
Rekon Race is super fast if it has enough traction for you. If not, Rekon isn't a bad tire to try. Not as fast, but it won't give out when you push it too hard.
Pros: not bad tire
Cons: not as fast
I thought the rekon race front and rear was amazing on hard pack rocky mountain dirt.
Pros: amazing on hard pack
I have used the Rekon/Rekon Race combo and it is good for xc. I’m currently on Vittoria Barzo/Mezcal and I like them a little bit more than the Maxxis combo
Pros: good for xc
Rekon for the rear - Forecaster for the front. Super light - super fast - and good for all scenarios other than wet mud.
Pros: super light, super fast
Cons: other than wet mud
My favorite trail bike combo right now is a DHR2 front and dissector rear but I’m considering switching to rekon rear.
Pros: great speed
Maxxis Razr ATs. They handle great and served me well in winter driving.
Pros: handle great, good winter
Minimum ko is Maxxis.
Pros: minimum quality
Cons: pahype lang
They are definitely not twice as good. I was riding a Rekon/Ardent race combo and replaced them with Fast Track/ Renegade while those were on sale and I don’t feel like I’ve had any drop in performance.
Pros: no drop in performance
Maxxis tires give 40% on a $120 MSRP - so $48. Seems like a good gig for the retailer. However...Maxxis is the worst line to carry.
Pros: good margin for retailer
Cons: worst line to carry
Maxxis is a shit tire company. Their quality is atrocious pretty much post covid
Cons: atrocious quality, post covid
