Ikon Alloy 20" Rim 406x28 36h No Brake Surface

Ikon Alloy 20" Rim 406x28 36H – No Brake Surface

Product Overview

The Ikon UltraLite is a lightweight double-walled 6061-T6 alloy rim designed for BMX racing with brakeless surface profile. At 312g (11 oz), it provides 1.75" rim strength with 1.5" rim weight, featuring an aerodynamic design and angled spoke nipple holes for optimized wheel builds.

Key Features

• Double-Walled 6061-T6 Aluminum – Optimized internal geometry reduces weight while maintaining strength for racing applications
• Brakeless Aero Design – Low-profile aerodynamic surface profile reduces air resistance; optimized for speed-focused builds
• Angled Spoke Nipple Holes – Slightly angled openings create more direct spoke-to-nipple angle for stronger, more durable wheel builds
• Double-Polished Finish – Hi-polish surface treatment creates brilliant shine before anodizing
• Black Anodized Coating – Durable protective finish resists corrosion and wear
• Water Transfer Graphics – Four color options (white, neon yellow, red, blue) applied to black anodized surface
• 28mm Width – Modern rim width compatible with current BMX tire profiles and geometry standards
• Tubeless Ready – Bead lock system supports tubeless setup with additional tape, valve, sealant, and sealer (sold separately)
• Front or Rear Compatible – Brakeless design allows use as front or rear wheel without disc brake requirements
• Lightweight Construction – 312g (11 oz) weight ideal for racing-focused builds

Build Requirements & Compatibility

• Spoke Compatibility – Use with butted or bladed steel spokes; verify spoke length based on hub flange geometry (approximately 260–280mm range depending on hub)
• Spoke Tensioning – Use calibrated spoke tension meter; maximum 115 kgf spoke tension
• Lacing Patterns – Angled nipple holes support standard cross lacing; radial lacing not recommended
• Tire Compatibility – Designed for 20" BMX tires; verify tire bead diameter matches 406 ETRTO standard
• Valve Type – Presta valve compatible; verify tire valve type before assembly
• Tubeless Setup – Requires tubeless-specific tire, rim tape, valve, sealant, and liquid sealer for conversion
• Hub Compatibility – Works with any 36-hole hub (front or rear); verify ERD and spoke hole count

Compatibility & Ideal Use Cases

• BMX racing – Lightweight, aerodynamic design optimized for racing performance
• Weight-optimized builds – 11 oz weight ideal for competitive racing setups
• Front or rear wheels – Brakeless design suitable for both positions without brake requirements
• Disc brake systems – Compatible with both front and rear disc brake setups (alternative to brakeless use)

Tubeless Ready System - Our rims feature a Bead Lock System, needed for the rim to be Tubeless Ready. With the installation of additional items needed you can get the rim ready for tubeless set up, along with the usage of a tubeless specific tire. With a tubeless set up, you can lighten up your wheels, saveing rotational weight, as well as have a sealant inside your tubeless ready tire to help automatically repair small punctures.
Additional items needed to convert to a Tubeless system include Special Valve, Sealant Rim Tape, and Liquid sealer.

Disc Braking Compatible - Designed to be used as a front rim or a rear rim when using a disc brake.
