Ikon Alloy 20" Rim 406x28 32h No Brake Surface

Overview

The Ikon UltraLite Alloy ETRO 406 rim is a pro-sized rim specifically engineered for BMX racing. At 28mm width and approximately 312g (11 oz), this double-walled 6061 T6 aluminum rim delivers the strength and size of a traditional 1.75" rim while weighing as little as a 1.5" rim. This model features a brakeless surface profile with an aero design, intended exclusively for disc brake use on either the front or rear wheel. The black anodized finish with double-polished base and water-transfer graphics is available in four colors including Neon Yellow.

Key Features

• UltraLite double-walled construction — 6061 T6 alloy with optimized internal geometry provides light weight without sacrificing structural strength

• Brakeless surface profile — Aero-designed rim with no machined brake track; intended exclusively for disc brake use

• Angled spoke nipple openings — Proprietary Ikon design creates a more direct spoke/nipple angle, resulting in a stronger wheel build

• Double-polished + black anodized finish — High-luster appearance achieved through a two-stage polishing method before anodizing

• Water-transfer graphics — Available in four colors (White, Neon Yellow, Red, Blue)

• Low-profile aero design — Reduces drag while maintaining structural integrity

• Tubeless Ready with Bead Lock System — Can be converted to tubeless with additional components (valve, rim tape, liquid sealant) to reduce rotational weight and add puncture self-repair

• Disc brake compatible — Designed for front or rear disc brake use without strength compromise

• Sleeved rim construction — Traditional joint method for reliable performance
