Maxxis Tyre Ikon 27.5x2.2 Exo TLR

The Maxxis Ikon 27.5x2.2 EXO TR is one of the most popular cross-country (XC) tyres on the market, known for its speed, versatility, and predictable handling across a wide range of trail conditions.

Designed with a high-volume casing and low-profile tread, the Ikon rolls exceptionally fast while still offering enough grip for cornering and braking. It’s a go-to choice for riders who want to cover ground quickly without sacrificing control.

The addition of EXO sidewall protection improves durability against cuts and abrasions, while the Tubeless Ready (TR) construction allows lower pressures for better traction and comfort.
