Maxxis Ikon 29er Tubeless Ready - thoughts?

Hi all

Has anyone got experience of using these tyres? If so, are they any good?
Am fed up of my rocket rons leaking so much air through pinholes in the sidewall when converted to tubeless.

Want a fast tyre but not one that is overly prone to thin walls etc.

I'm running Ikon's and I've been happy so far. They're ok in slippery conditions but certainly nothing worth shouting about. Mine have mostly been used in the dry and they grip well and roll pretty quickly too. I run mine tubeless and they hold the air as well as any other tubeless system I've used.

Do you find them heavy/draggy at all? reason being is that I would run them in XC races.
Thanks for the reply too

No not at all. Mine came in around 580grams on my scales.
