The Maxxis Ardent is a do-it-all trail tyre, designed for riders seeking a fast, confident ride across a wide range of off-road conditions. With a light-duty yet robust build, it excels in hard-packed, dry terrain while maintaining dependable traction in the wet.
Why It Stands Out
- All-Round Capability
The tread combines ramped centre knobs for minimal rolling resistance with large, square shoulder lugs that grip confidently during turns. - Fast Rolling & Predictable Grip
Fast-rolling enough for XC and trail use, yet offers controlled cornering and braking performance. - Durable Construction
Features a 60 TPI casing with optional EXO sidewall protection. Available in single or dual-compound rubber for a balance of longevity and traction. - Tubeless Ready
Select sizes come with Tubeless Ready (TR) bead, ideal for riders pursuing lower pressures, improved traction, and fewer flats.
Performance Insights
- Grip & Cornering
Large side knobs provide excellent predictability and control in dry and loose terrain. - Rolling Resistance
Ramped centre knobs and high-volume casing deliver fast rolling speed, praised as “fast-rolling, efficient, and lightweight.” - Puncture Resistance
Solid durability and user feedback highlight strong resistance to cuts when used tubeless.
