Fast-rolling XC performance for racing and trail rides.
The Maxxis Ikon is a cross-country tyre for riders who want to cover ground quickly. Its low-profile tread is designed for efficient rolling, with side knobs that provide grip through corners.
Choose from several widths and constructions, including EXO/TR, 3C MaxxSpeed and MaxxSpeed options. Check the selected version before ordering, as protection and tubeless compatibility vary.

Select your preferred size and construction from the dropdown. Check your frame or fork clearance and rim compatibility before ordering, particularly for the 2.60-inch option.
Tubeless Setup
The options marked TR are Tubeless Ready and require compatible rims, valves and sealant for tubeless setup. The standard 29 x 2.20 folding option is not marked TR in the product listing; check its sidewall or packaging before choosing a tubeless setup.
Our Thoughts
The Ikon is a good choice for riders who want a fast tyre for XC races and firm trails. It offers more tread than a semi-slick, though riders regularly tackling deep mud or loose, steep tracks may prefer a more aggressive pattern.
