Maxxis Ikon Tubeless Tire / MaxxSpeed / EXO - 29 x 2.35

What Makes the Maxxis Ikon a Standout XC Tire?

The Maxxis Ikon is a lightweight, high-volume XC tire that rolls fast on hardpack and intermediate terrain while delivering enough tread to keep you planted when the trail turns unpredictable. The open knob layout provides reliable traction under braking and cornering without the rolling resistance penalty of a more aggressive tread. MaxxSpeed compound maximizes efficiency on smooth surfaces while still providing adequate grip in mixed conditions, making the Ikon equally capable as a race tire and a fast everyday trail option.

The 29 x 2.35 size hits a balance between the traditional 2.25 XC width and the wider 2.4 trail options, offering more volume for improved traction and comfort without adding significant weight. EXO casing protects the sidewalls against cuts and punctures on rocky terrain while keeping the overall weight in check. Tubeless ready, the Ikon rewards lower pressures with better traction and compliance across a variety of terrain types. A go-to choice for XC racers, marathon riders, and trail cyclists who want a fast, versatile 29er tire.
