Maxxis Ikon eXCeption 3C (29-Inch)

Maxxis' Ikon, as the name suggests, is a tire other treads look up to. Great for everything from dry hardpack to loose conditions, this light tire still gives you high-volume and a 2.2-inch width for hold-your-line control. It features their triple-compound technology with softer sides for great cornering along with a harder, fast-rolling center section that's also helped by ramped knobs.
