The Maxxis Ikon is a lightweight, high volume XC tire that rolls fast and has ample tread to provide secure traction in varied conditions. Ramped center knobs roll fast and provide excellent traction for climbing and braking. Progressive shoulder lugs deliver secure traction in the corners. EXO casing provides protection on sidewalls for extreme cut and abrasion resistance while remaining lightweight and highly flexible. 3C triple compound construction features a harder base rubber layer and two progressively softer top layers to maximize performance. 3C Maxx Speed compounds are specially formulated to reduce rolling resistance and optimize treadwear and traction.
