Product Information

Using E-GUM-X, a new rubber compromising lateral and central rubbers designed to optimise grip, with a tread pattern from the Enduro ranges for a better hold. Mountain bikes need rugged, durable tyres that are built to withstand the toughest conditions and still provide exceptional performance at all times. That’s exactly what you’ll find at Bike Addict, as our range of 27.5 MTB tyres is manufactured by the world’s leading cycling brands.

The width of tyre you can use on your bike depends in part on your wheels – each wheel is designed to accept tyres up to a maximum width. Wider tyres are preferred by a lot of riders because they offer more traction and make it easier to roll over obstacles. That said, as your tyres get wider, you’ll add rolling resistance to your bike and make it harder to accelerate. In general, trail and downhill mountain bikes use tyres between 2.25-2.5 inches. Cross country bikes typically use narrower tyres – 1.9-2.25 inches – to allow them to move faster and climb hills more efficiently. Tyre Treads

Optimal grip with its lateral and central rubbers designed to optimise motricity, even on climbs, and transmit the bike's full power. As long as you mount them on a reasonable rim width (Bontrager recommend a 35mm as a good starting point) they don’t ricochet off big landings or square edge wallops like a lot of high-volume sub-kilo tyres do. The beautiful sidewall on the Rekon+ is only interrupted by a hooplah of letters and logos (c’mon Maxxis, do we really need all that?) advertising all the fancy technology Maxxis has put into this tire. Specifically, they note two technologies. Directly from Maxxis:

Thankfully, this offering from Maxxis, along with those from Terravail, brings that dream to a more reasonable price point. I’m very happy that the industry finally heard me and my friends ranting about the need for a 27.5+ tire with tan sidewalls. Widely spaced lugs are perfect for sand and mud. The channels between the lugs allow material to move freely rather than force your tyre to slip. Side lugs on the edges of your tyres are ideal for cornering. When you angle the bike to take a sharp turn, side lugs will make sure you still have enough traction to prevent sliding out.Due to its Gravity Shield casing from Enduro competitions. This offers great protection fro eMTB riding.
