The Maxxis Ikon features triple technology high-volume casing and a fast rolling tread design, the Ikon provides exemplary performance in all riding conditions. As its name suggests, the Ikon represents all that is true in racing. This tyre uses Maxxis' 3C Maxx Speed triple compound that used three different compounds to make the ultimate tyre. A hard compound closest to the carcass and then two different outer compounds giving you a fast tyre that grips really well in the corners.

The eXCeption Series of tires is a combination of Maxxis' 62a compound and their 120 TPI casing. This not only makes for a lighter model tire, but it also enhances cornering, braking, and acceleration. These tires are recommended for race use only. This model features Maxxis' EXO protection. This consists of Maxxis' propriety material based sidewall that specially integrates with the exterior design of the tyre. The EXO protection means this tyre has increased abrasion and cut resistance for optimal performance. If you are after the ultimate lightweight racing MTB tyre with sidewall protection, make sure it's the Maxxis Ikon 29er 3C eXC Exo Protection Folding Mountain Bike Tyre.
