MaxxisIkon 29" 3C/EXO/TR MTB Tire(Return to Product Page)

I ride NW single track on a hardtail. This tires have great grip and feel even on wet surfaces. I'm a light rider and like 22 lb air pressure.

This tire is currently on the front and it�s providing me with confident cornering over my previous Mezcal/Barzo for Florida sand.

My full suspension bike came stock with 2.5" tires that weigh almost 1400g each! These Maxxis saved me 14 oz. per axle! I can definitely tell the difference going uphill. They are a little narrower than my stock tires but the traction so far has been about the same as stock tires. The rubber nobs are very soft so I will be ordering new ones sooner than I would expected to.

I mounted the tires to my geared big tire BMX bike that I ride wooded trails on.

I finally took the bike and tires out for their maiden trail ride. The trail was extremely muddy and covered by leaves, far from my ideal conditions which made me cautious when leaning the bike over into turns. But to my surprise the tires offered impressive traction when accelerating, braking and turning. I can't wait to see what these tires are capable of next spring and summer when the trails are dry, uncovered and fast.

Mounting of the tires was super easy too, no issues with the bead being too tight or too loose.

I ride mostly hard packed trails. This tire improved the handling on single tracks, turns much easier than the previous tires I was using. Also has less rollin resistance.

This tire, at low PSI, is very grippy. Corners very well and is light and fast. I also run the Maxxis Ardent tire and I dont notice any less traction. Just faster.

Tires feel good

I installed on my Specialized Levo SL. They improved the handling while riding single track trails. Bike turns quicker and has less rolling resistance.
