Great long lasting tread, 2.2 width is great for handling the trail, High-volume, lightweight, a true racing tire.
The Bad
I cant say there is a bad for the tire
Overall Review:

The Good
This tire has a low weight and as far as I'm concerned, awesome rolling resistance. I found grip overall to be good, not great, but good.
The Bad
This tire has little protection, and therefore easily tears and gets punctures.
Overall Review:

Good XC tire for riding. I feel like the knobs could have been spaced more, especially in the middle. Wears quite fast in my experience.

Overall Review:

This is a really good xc/trail tire. I'm running the 26 x 2.2 version (3C, exc, exo) on some black flag pro's (stan's technology). For the sidewall protection it has and the volume, it's an impressively light weight tire. Mine tipped the scales at around 550g. Sure you can find lighter tires, but they'll have paper thin sidewalls and 1.9" widths. I was pleasantly surprised that the volume is very close to a Continental trail king 2.2 that I have on the front on my bike. Maxxis sizing hasn't always been consistent and I was happy to not receive a really skinny tire labeled 2.2.

The tire mounted up fine and I was able to air it up with a floor pump. It has held air consistently and I actually pump it up less regularly than I did when I ran tubes. Very happy in that department.

I'm running it exclusively on the rear mainly to improve rolling resistance on my trail bike and lose some rotational weight. So far the Ikon has not disappointed me. It works great on hardpack obviously, but where it has really impressed me is climbing rocky ledges and cornering in loose rock over hardpack. The traction is really impressive and when it breaks away it does so predictably and gradually.

The only downside is that it doesn't excel in wet and muddy conditions and you'd be crazy to buy a tire like this and think it would.
The tread has worn consistently and has a fairly long lasting compound. This tire is expensive, but in this case you get what you pay for.
