Ikon Alloy Rim 20" — 451x19.5mm, 28h, Neon Yellow

Overview

The Ikon UltraLite is a 20" double-wall aluminum rim engineered for BMX racing. It combines lightweight construction with a CNC-machined braking surface and bead lock system for tubeless compatibility. The 6061-T6 aluminum and anodized finish provide durability in competitive and street conditions.

Key Features

• 6061-T6 double-wall aluminum — Optimized wall thickness reduces weight while maintaining rim stiffness and impact resistance
• Anodized finish — Hard-coat anodize resists corrosion, brake pad wear, and UV degradation; neon yellow graphics applied via water transfer
• CNC-machined brake surface — Precision-shaped sidewall increases contact area and consistency with brake pads, improving stopping power and reducing fade
• Bead lock system — Integrated rim design supports tubeless setup; allows conversion with tubeless-specific valve, rim tape, and sealant
• Presta F/V valve — Standard for BMX; Presta compatibility with removable valve core for sealant injection
• 28-hole drilling pattern — Standard count for even spoke load distribution and wheel strength

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.

V-Braking Compatible - Designed to be used as a rear rim when using a V-brake.
