Ikon Alloy 20" Rim 406x28 36h No Brake Surface (Neon Yellow)

Overview

The Ikon UltraLite Alloy ETRO 406 rim is a 36-hole pro-sized rim specifically engineered for BMX racing. At 28mm width and just 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 particular model features a brakeless surface profile with an aero design, intended for use with disc brakes only. The neon yellow water-transfer graphic sits atop a double-polished, black anodized finish for a brilliant, durable look.

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 (front or rear)

• 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); Neon Yellow as specified

• 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

Compatibility & Ideal Use Cases

• Frame/fork compatibility: 20" BMX race frames and forks designed for 406mm ISO/ETRO rims

• Brake compatibility: Disc brakes only (no rim brake surface)

• Spoke compatibility: 36-hole hubs only

• Tire compatibility: 20" x 1.50" to 1.75" tires; tubeless-ready tires required for tubeless conversion

• Best for: BMX racers running disc brake setups; riders prioritizing low rotational weight with 1.75" rim strength

• Ideal use: Competitive BMX racing where weight savings and aero profile matter; front or rear disc brake wheelsets

• Not suitable for: Rim brake systems (V-brake, caliper, U-brake); riders requiring a machined braking surface

Pair with 36-hole disc brake hubs and appropriate spokes. For tubeless conversion, add tubeless valve, sealant rim tape, and liquid sealant. Neon Yellow graphics offer high-visibility accenting against the black anodized base.

NO BRAKE SURFACE RIM.

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.
