what other maxxis tires use the same casing as the ikon? the 2.35" is enormous!
Ardent 2.4 has the same 61mm casing in both 29 and 27.5
It's a decent tire as well: taller, wider knobs for a bit more bite and support. Rides far better than its 2.25 sibling. That being said, there is a better (safer!) option from Maxxis in the 29 size: Minion DHF 2.5
