Maxxis Ikon 29" folding tire dual-compound

A real racing tire for real racers

Large volume, fast, with a lot of grip - the IKON delivers exemplary performance in the most varied of soil conditions, on hard to loose soil. On rocks and roots, even when it's wet, the 3C and eXCeption versions are particularly impressive. For very rough, rocky terrain, the IKON 3C is also available in the EXO Protection version, which safely protects the side walls with little additional weight. The IKON is now also available in many tubeless-ready versions and also in the enduro size 2.35″.

Technical specification

Technologies used

In this chapter we explain the technologies that the manufacturer uses in this product.

DualCompound
Two different rubber compounds are processed into a tread strip. We plan the arrangement of the mixtures according to the desired properties of the tires.

EXO Protection
This extremely cut and abrasion resistant material protects the sidewall of various MTB tires. It is very tightly woven, light and very flexible. As a result, the performance of the tires remains convincingly good.

Tubeless Ready (TR)
Tubeless tires have many advantages: You can drive with less air pressure. This gives better traction and reduces rolling resistance. And where there is no inner tube, the risk of punctures is also reduced. MAXXIS TR tires are better prepared for mounting with sealant than other "tubeless ready" tires. Like a real UST tubeless tyre, the bead of the TR tires is completely covered with a layer of rubber. As a result, tubeless installation is successful for all rims with standard dimensions the first time you pump them up and with little liquid. "Normal" MAXXIS MTB tires can also be mounted tubeless with sealant like tires from other manufacturers, as the carcass fabric is very dense. However, only the new MAXXIS TR models are officially approved for tubeless assembly and guaranteed by MAXXIS. The tubeless assembly of other models is at your own risk.
