The Tusk Recon Hybrid® rear tire combines the benefits of a soft, sticky trials tire with an off-road/motocross tire for optimal performance for single track and technical enduro use. The soft, gummy rubber compound on the rear tire hooks up and conforms to rocks and roots like a trials tire, but has a motocross inspired tread design to perform better in sand, gravel, and aggressive cornering and braking. Another Hybrid feature is in the carcass; it is much softer than a standard off-road/motocross tire, but handles better than a trials tire to offer ideal impact absorption, traction, and protection through gnarly, technical terrain. The front has a stiffer, motocross inspired, rubber compound to ensure a strong bite in corners, but has a “Fat” oversized shape to absorb rocks and roots. The Recon hybrid® tires instill confidence in even the most technical conditions.
