Developed for cross country racing on hardpack or loose over hard terrain.
As you can expect, it is a light-weight, super-fast rolling tyre so you won't be giving any to the competition on the climbs or on long gruelling straights. Considering it's low knob height, it still performs admirably if it starts to rain halfway through your ride.
Using a larger high-volume casing, the Maxxis Ikon is able to be run at lower pressures to give provide more traction than its competitors.
Using triple compound rubbers and the very robust EXO protection in the sidewall the Maxxis Ikon is a premium product.
In the 2.20" size, the Ikon is perfect on an XC bike front or rear, or run it on the back with an Ardent Race up front for a touch more traction. 2.20" size runs Maxxis' lightning fast 3c Maxx Speed compound too.
In the 2.35" size, it makes a great high volume rear tyre on a trail bike when teamed up with either an Aggressor, Minion DHF or MinionDHR 2. The 2.35" size utilises Maxxis' grippy 3C Maxx Terra compound, or the hard and quick 3C Maxx Speed
Skinwall/Dark Tan Wall tyres: Maxxis has made a running change to replace all Skinwall tyres with the Dark Tan sidewalls. During the transition phase, there is a chance that stock from our suppliers may contain a mixture of both sidewall types so you may receive a shade that is different from what you expect. If this does happen please get in touch and we'll do our best to get you sorted with the option you'd prefer ASAP!

Great grip
by Dave
My young fella had stopped riding his DJ. I asked why? He said his tyres were too slippy on the gravel and sand round here. Bought these, put them on. No more slip and one happy little camper.

Great tyre. Nice on loose rocks and goes good in the mud.
Seals up tight straight away using Stan's
Fast roll but grippy
by Ben
Great tire with a fast roll but plenty of grip. This was a great upgrade for mtb before heading bush!
Perfect!

Wanted to give these a go as they were cheaper than Schwable which I have been using. Look great but turned my bath into a jacuzzi with how porous the sidewalls were after not sealing for 3 days! After a week of resealing and inflating, riding, rotating the tyres they sealed. They look great and ride well but will be going back to Schwable when they wear out for ease of fitment.
