Bentonville Approved
Pros
Handled every type of trail we rode in Bentonville like a dream. Great traction that still rolls pretty quick.
Cons
None
Maxxis Rekon + a true 2.8
I purchased these tires for a shakedown ride in Michigan before an August 2021 GDMBR bikepacking trip. The tires performed as expected - Maxxis delivered a robust tire that performed well on gravel, sand, tree roots, and paved roads. Fast rolling and a perfect tread pattern for variable conditions.
Maxxis Tyre - 29+ Lyfe
Pros
Quality and durability
Cons
Could be considered to be heavy (but this is 29+ so it will be heavy)
Other Thoughts
I haven't gotten to ride it much yet. But seems to be as nice as my Maxxis DHF which I love.
This tire measures 2.85" on my Sungringle Duroc 50 (45mm inner width)
Performed well
Pros
Very grippy, corners well
Cons
Not as big as expected, and more fast rolling than expected (smaller center knobs), but still performed very well!
