JohanC Posted July 17, 2019 Posted July 17, 2019 Looking for a fast rolling tyre on the rear. From experience what would you recommend?Maxxis Aspen or Rekon Race? (only Maxxis tyres)
BikeisLife Posted July 17, 2019 Posted July 17, 2019 Looking for a fast rolling tyre on the rear. From experience what would you recommend?Maxxis Aspen or Rekon Race? (only Maxxis tyres)If you riding loose stuff, go aspen rather, seems to grip better. Also seems to be better wearing than the Rekon Race.
Zorro5614 Posted July 17, 2019 Posted July 17, 2019 I run the Rekon Race at the back. Not too much difference between them, but Rekon Race is available in 2.35 and Aspen only in 2.25 Matches up nicely with 2.35 Ikon upfront
babse Posted July 17, 2019 Posted July 17, 2019 No experience on either but keen to hear feedback... I am needing to replace my ikon that has been faultless on the rear.Ardent race in front.

JohanDiv Posted July 17, 2019 Posted July 17, 2019 I switched from Ikon 2.2 back and Ardent 2.4 front to Aspen 2.25 front and back and smashed all my PRs on the first ride up AND DOWN Paarl Mountain. I expected better rolling uphill, but didn't expect to improve PR's on the way down. It does feel a bit more out of control going down than that 2.4 Ardent though..

JohanC Posted July 24, 2019 Author Posted July 24, 2019 I fitted a Aspen on the Rear and moved the Rekon Race to the front. what did you end up going for?
Red Bird Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 Running Aspen rear and it rolls fast! But still has enough grip for the techy climbs. Perfect choice ????????
babse Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 I fitted a Aspen on the Rear and moved the Rekon Race to the front.Was this for a particular ride or general riding? I haven't ridden either but that rekon race looks less grippy than say ardent race!?
Zorro5614 Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 Also interested to hear how the Rekon Race does upfront
