Ikon

The Maxxis Ikon is a lightweight, fast-rolling cross-country (XC) tyre designed for speed, efficiency, and versatility. It's a go-to choice for XC racers and riders who want a tyre that performs well in a wide range of dry to moderately loose trail conditions.

Key features

• Low-profile tread pattern: Closely spaced center knobs minimise rolling resistance while small side knobs offer cornering support.
• Dual or 3C MaxxSpeed compound: Offers a balance of speed, grip, and durability (3C version provides better traction).
• EXO sidewall protection option: Lightweight yet durable casing for increased puncture resistance.
• Tubeless Ready (TR): Allows lower pressures for better grip and fewer flats.
• Available in multiple widths: Common sizes include 2.2' and 2.35', allowing for terrain-specific setups.
• Lightweight casing (120 TPI option): Designed for maximum performance in racing situations.

Ideal for

• Cross-country racing and training
