Maxxis Ikon 3C EXO EXC TR 650B Folding Tyre

Maxxis 3C Triple Compound mountain technology uses a harder, longer lasting base layer and two progressively softer top layers in order to optimise traction and stability. Maxxis offers three different configurations of their 3C Triple Compound mountain technology; Maxx Speed, Maxx Terra and Maxx Grip.

3C Maxx Speed
Maxx Speed is used primarily in cross country and endure tyres. The two compounds in the outer layer are specially formulated to reduce rolling resistance and optimise treadwear and traction.

Exception Series (EXC)
The EXCeption series of tyres is a combination of their 62a compound and their 120 TPI casing. This not only makes for a lighter model tyre, it also enhances cornering, braking, and acceleration. These tyres are recommended for race use only.

Tubeless Ready
Tubeless tyres provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tyre; and less chance of flatting since there is no tube.

Maxxis Tubeless Ready (TR) tyres provide the benefits of a UST tubeless tyre without the weight penalty. The square bead profile of their TR tyres is designed to work with the broad range of tubeless rims available on the market today. Maxxis TR tyres use a special construction which allows the use of liquid sealants to make them airtight and to help prevent punctures. If needed, Maxxis TR tyres can also be used with an inner tube.
