Top MTB Enduro/Trail Rear Tires You Should be Running!

Although the front and rear tires on any mountain bike are important, rear mtb tires sometimes don’t get the same attention that front mountain bike tires do. Besides the obvious importance of tire grip, there’s also the fact that rear mountain bike tires take a tremendous beating. In this video installment, Worldwide Cyclery founder Jeff Cayley walks us through the shop's top picks for mountain bike rear tire treads. We cover everything from tire tread pattern and casing strength, to sidewall durability and rubber compounds. Check it out!

I have to say the answer to "compound vs pattern" was spot on imo, having had to save funds at some point and buy a cheaper tire with a not so advanced technology or "special compound", I actually enjoyed the pattern designs a lot more ... but having both a great compound and design is the way to go in the end👌

It's like a DHF but with a little more rounded profile. That setup has performed really well for me recently on wet rocks, socal mud, and now socal dry conditions and wear has been a lot less than I've gotten out of a DHF or E*13 TRS

Out of this bunch, for all around XC tire with good cornering, Rekon works well. I run it tubeless and modify the pressure to adjust for speed/grip. for 2.25 on the rear, 28-29 psi for speed. 26-27 for grip. Rolls pretty fast at higher pressures of 29-30 psi.

@matthewkramer8613 4 жыл бұрын

Recently I tried running the Ikon on the back. Ikon is super fast rolling, but noticeably less grip than a Rekon. At lower pressure the Ikon is grippy enough, but less confidence building than Rekon. Ikon is great tire if you are looking for tire that is easy to spin up and maintain momentum, unlike the Rekon where grip is more apparent. Ikon 2.2 at about 25 psi grips well enough, but care should be taken in cornering. Maybe a 2.3 would provide better cornering.. Ikon 2.2 works well over gravely ,loose, and hardpack. loose rocks over hard is ok at lower pressure. Lots of fun over rolling terrain with mixed conditions. Looser rocks and steeper climbs require something more aggressive like Rekon for XC though.

I use an Agressor on the rear and a Nobby Nic up front. Both are similar in terms of grip (i'd guess) but the Agressor is much tougher. The agressor also runs small, so thats not ideal, but it is the reason the weight is reasonable.

The last two rear tires I've tried were the Maxxis Forekaster (2.35) and the Rekon (2.4). It's a little hard to tell specific differences, but I feel like the forekaster might be my favorite of the two. It's not an enduro tire sure, but if you're not riding enduro conditions all the time, its got great grip and rolls pretty fast. The Rekon seems to roll faster (maybe) but I also feel like it looses its grip easier than the Forekaster did... I'd also say that I think the Rekon is the more durable of the two.
