The Maxxis Rekon Race 29 x 2.40 120 TPI WT Skinwall is a fast-rolling cross-country mountain bike tyre designed for riders who prioritise speed, efficiency and low rolling resistance on dry XC trails and race courses. With its semi-slick tread profile, lightweight 120 TPI casing, Dual Compound rubber and EXO protection, the Rekon Race is built around the demands of modern cross-country riding.
The 29 x 2.40 Wide Trail profile provides additional tyre volume while maintaining the fast characteristics that make the Rekon Race popular for XC racing. The skinwall finish also gives the tyre a distinctive classic MTB appearance that stands out on a modern mountain bike.
The Rekon Race sits firmly in Maxxis’ XC race range. It uses the lowest-profile tread design in Maxxis’ XC tyre line, making it particularly suited to dry XC trails and short-track racing.
Its tread pattern is designed to keep the tyre moving quickly across hardpack and smoother trail surfaces, while the outer tread provides additional grip when the trail starts to become more technical.
For riders looking for a tyre that prioritises speed rather than aggressive trail traction, the Rekon Race is an excellent fit.
The defining characteristic of the Rekon Race is its semi-slick tread pattern.
The centre tread uses relatively low-profile knobs that create a fast-rolling contact area. This helps the tyre maintain momentum on hardpack, gravelly sections, smooth singletrack and XC race courses.
The reduced tread height also helps make the Rekon Race particularly suitable for dry conditions where deep, aggressive knobs are not necessary.
When the goal is to ride quickly and efficiently, the Rekon Race’s tread design gives it a clear XC-race focus.
The 29 x 2.40 size provides a larger-volume tyre compared with narrower XC options.
The Wide Trail design is optimised around modern mountain bike rims, with Maxxis specifying a 30 mm internal rim width as the ideal setup for the 2.40 WT profile. Maxxis also indicates that 25–30 mm internal rim widths are acceptable for this WT XC configuration.
The 29 x 2.40 size has an ETRTO specification of 61-622, giving riders a useful reference when checking compatibility with their wheels and frame.
Always check available frame and fork clearance before fitting a wider tyre.
This version features a 120 TPI casing, making it the lighter and more race-oriented casing option compared with the 60 TPI version.
A higher TPI casing can contribute to a supple tyre feel while helping reduce casing weight. Maxxis specifically describes its 120 TPI Rekon Race casing as the lighter-weight option intended for XC race use.
For riders who are focused on racing, fast training rides or keeping rotating weight under control, the 120 TPI version is an attractive option.
The Rekon Race 29 x 2.40 120 TPI Skinwall uses Dual Compound rubber.
The Dual Compound configuration is designed to balance rolling speed, grip and durability, making it suitable for riders who want a race-oriented tyre without using an extremely specialised compound.
This makes the Rekon Race versatile enough for regular XC training while still being well suited to race day.
The tyre features EXO sidewall protection, a lightweight cut- and abrasion-resistant material used by Maxxis on many of its mountain bike tyres.
EXO protection is particularly useful for XC riding where sharp rocks, roots and trail edges can place additional stress on the tyre sidewalls.
The technology is designed to increase durability while maintaining the flexible characteristics of the casing.
The Maxxis Rekon Race 29 x 2.40 120 TPI Skinwall is supplied with Tubeless Ready construction.
When paired with a compatible tubeless-ready rim and sealant, the tyre can be installed as part of a tubeless MTB setup.
Tubeless systems are widely used in modern XC mountain biking because they allow riders to optimise tyre pressure for their riding conditions without relying on an inner tube.
Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended installation procedures and check that your rim is compatible before converting to tubeless.
One of the standout features of this version is its Skinwall finish.
The tan sidewall contrasts with the darker tread and gives the tyre a distinctive appearance that works particularly well on modern XC bikes, especially builds with a more classic or race-inspired aesthetic.
The Skinwall version combines this visual character with the performance-focused 120 TPI casing and EXO/TR construction.
The Rekon Race is designed primarily for dry cross-country trails and short-track racing.
It works particularly well on:
Maxxis lists the Rekon Race as suitable for both front and rear installation, although its official recommended installation is rear. This makes it especially useful as a rear tyre when paired with a more aggressive front tyre for additional cornering and braking traction.
Maxxis Rekon Race 29 x 2.40 120 TPI WT Skinwall:
The Maxxis Rekon Race 29 x 2.40 120 TPI WT Skinwall is made for riders who want to prioritise speed without moving away from a proper mountain bike tyre.
Its semi-slick tread rolls efficiently, while the 120 TPI casing keeps the construction focused on XC racing. The Dual Compound rubber balances performance and durability, while EXO protection adds additional sidewall protection for real-world trail riding.
The 29 x 2.40 profile also gives riders the volume of a modern XC tyre while maintaining the fast character of the Rekon Race tread.
Whether you’re preparing for an XC race, building a lightweight race bike or simply want a fast rear tyre for dry trails, the Rekon Race is a strong option.
The Maxxis Rekon Race 29 x 2.40 120 TPI WT Skinwall combines a fast XC race tread with a lightweight casing, Dual Compound rubber, EXO protection and Tubeless Ready construction.
With its distinctive Skinwall sidewalls and race-focused specification, it is a great choice for riders looking for a fast, modern XC tyre that looks as good as it performs.
