Ikon vs. Rekon... Any recommendations?

Oh hey, how about the Rekon Race 2.35? It looks like it's very similar to the Ikon... how does it stack up against that? I'm really leaning toward the Ikon 2.35 front and back, seems like that would do well for 90% of my riding.

Help me Obi Juan Knobby!

 

I don't think the 2.35 Rekon Race uses the same carcass as the Ikon. It's much smaller in volume.

 

I have stated that I love the Rekon Race. I currently have a 2.25, but have run the 2.35. It handled a wet winter in the Santa Ana’s with little trouble. It’s a fast tire.

how does it stand up to the Ikon? It’s faster. But the Ikon has more traction on.

mid run the Ikon front and rear...not sure if I’d run the Rekon Race up front for anything less than race day.

 

Maxxis has a 2.4 WT Rekon Race, but availability is difficult.

I found the 2.35 Rekon Race had plenty of volume on both 27 and 30 ID rims.

 

OK, thanks! I think Ikons are the ones for me!

 

I love race day! I hate race day! Getting your ass handed to you on race day is better than getting your ass handed to you at work. Go ‘Zilla! Go Cyclo! Kick some ass!
