Maxxis Tyre Ikon 29X2.40 Exo Tubeless Ready

The Maxxis Ikon 29 x 2.40 EXO Tubeless Ready is a high-volume version of one of Maxxis’ most trusted XC tyres, built for riders who want maximum speed with added comfort and traction.

With its low-profile, fast-rolling tread pattern, the Ikon excels on hardpack and mixed terrain, while the wider 2.40 casing increases contact patch and grip—giving you more confidence in corners and on loose sections. It’s the ideal balance between XC speed and light trail capability.

The inclusion of EXO sidewall protection adds durability against cuts and abrasions, while the Tubeless Ready construction allows lower tyre pressures for improved grip, comfort, and reduced puncture risk.
