Maxxis Tyre Ikon 29x2.60 3C/Exo/Tubesless Ready

Maxxis Ikon XC Tyre – Lightweight Speed & All-Round Trail Performance

The Maxxis Ikon is a versatile cross-country tyre built for riders who want speed, grip, and predictable handling across a wide range of trail conditions. Known for its lightweight design and efficient tread pattern, the Ikon has become a popular choice for XC racing, marathon events, and fast trail riding.

Its ramped centre knobs reduce rolling resistance for quick acceleration and efficient pedalling, while the well-spaced side knobs provide dependable cornering grip. This balanced design makes the Ikon equally capable on climbs, descents, and technical sections.

Available in multiple rubber compounds, including Dual Compound, 3C MaxxSpeed, and 3C MaxxTerra, riders can choose the level of grip and durability that best suits their riding style. Casing options include 60 TPI or 120 TPI, with select models featuring EXO sidewall protection for increased resistance to cuts and abrasions.

Many versions are also Tubeless Ready (TR), allowing riders to run lower pressures for better traction and improved puncture protection.
