Maxxis Ikon review - Mountain Bike Reviews Forum
Jul 23, 2018 · Billed as Maxxis' most versatile cross-country tread pattern, the Maxxis Ikon is designed to work on just about any trail condition outside apocalyptic mud. This race ready tire has a high-volume casing and fast-rolling tread layout where a well-defined and closely spaced center helps keep speed high, while taller, more widely spaced side knobs ...
29er Racing Ralph VS. Maxxis IKON - Mountain Bike Reviews Forum
Jun 15, 2012 · 29er XC REAR tire - Schwalbe Racing Ralph vs. Maxxis Ikon I am in search of a GREAT XC/all mountain 29er REAR tire, specifically for dry, hard pack and forest trails (very few roots, some rock gardens, but mostly flowing, dry, single track).
Have you ridden on the Maxxis Ikon? Do you like them?
Mar 16, 2022 · Currently running Maxxis Minion DHF & DHR. Looking for a faster rolling XC tire. The Ikon is in the shelves. Read the reviews and seems like a decent all around XC tire. I’ll be riding dry, sandy conditions most of the time with a trip here or there. Maybe racing Sea Otter. Any real world experience with this tire? Is it worth a try?
Maxxis Ikon vs. Conti Race King - Mountain Bike Reviews Forum
May 26, 2011 · Last weekend I put on a Maxxis Ikon 29x2.2 front & Bontrager 29-0 29x1.9 in the rear of my Niner Air9 - both set up tubeless. The Ikon feels like it rolls faster and corners more predictably than the Race Kings I had on it before, and seem a little less pressure sensitive.
Maxxis ikon 29x2.6 - Mountain Bike Reviews Forum
Sep 21, 2018 · I've got several rides in on the 2.6 Ikon on a slack 29er hardtail. It's a very similar tire to 2.6 Rekon. I'll compare the two. To me feels like the Ikon spins up just a bit quicker. Ikon feels like a little less rolling resistance. Braking feels nearly identical - maybe Rekon squats into the ground a tiny bit more.
Maxxis Ardent Race over IKON for front tire?
Jun 25, 2016 · I just installed a pair of 29x2.35 Maxxis IKON 3c tires on my Salsa El Mar as replacement for Schwalbe Rapid Robs which handled great but were pretty heavy. I will say these things accelerate and climb faster than any other tire I've ever ridden, however as a front tire it is pretty terrible. Very sketchy and unpredictable.
Maxxis Ikon 2.35 - Mountain Bike Reviews Forum
May 12, 2013 · Right. We're talking about 2 different types of tires here between the Renegade and the Ikon 2.35. The Ikon has more friction, weighs more, and is much more suitable as an aggressive XC front tire than the Renegade (620g for the control version and 570g for the S-Works version). The Ikon has a square tread profile, and the Renegade is much rounder.
"rolling resistance". Maxxis Ardent vs Racing Ralph vs IKON
Mar 26, 2013 · In fact, I think the latest excellent Maxxis XC combo that I am dubbing the best for me is the new Ikon 2.3 up front with the 2.2 Ikon in the rear. The new Ikon 2.35 is a different beast due to the taller side lugs and makes it a great front tire, but the center lugs remain the same height as the 2.2 Ikon so it rolls just as fast up there.
Ardent Race vs Ikon? - Mountain Bike Reviews Forum
Jan 15, 2017 · The Ardent Race, Ikon, and XR2/XR3 Team Issue will all roll pretty darned well and you probably won't notice a difference. If you really want something fast, try a Maxxis Maxxlite, Vittoria AKA Pluma, Schwalbe Thunder Burt Liteskin, or Continental Speed King.
