Winegar’s Maxxis Tire Review: Ikon
I have put some racing miles on the Ikons that I got about a month ago, and really like them. The grip on climbs is great, and cornering is superb. I did not except the cornering grip to be this great, as it is a low knob tire. In the rain and wet it sheds mub very well with out packing up. I did have to lower the tire pressure to get them to grip better. I started out running them @ 1.9 bar, and had to lower them to 1.7 bar for more comfort and better grip. As for rolling resistance, these tires roll really smooth & fast. I am running them tubeless with Stans, and they did take some work to get them to seal, but once they were sealed I had zero problems with them.
