Ardent - Dual Compound and EXO

These came with my giant stance 2 when I bought it. After 2 seasons they were worn out, they don’t last very long on harder terrain, but they are pretty cheap comparatively. And the traction is just awesome on pretty much any surface.

Good tire man 🍁

Used this on my my new wheelset (Bontranger Aluminum Comp) and love them. Much better than the Bontranger XR2 that came on my bike. They do well on most trail surfaces except sand. Other than sand, they do the job well and aren't too heavy either. They take a beating on the trail and I've never had any problems with thorns and such (I run tubeless). Also the rear tire had to be replaced a little over 3000 miles. Highly recommend.

Tire has grip,grip,and more grip. Don't expect to ever run any other tire but the Ardent. Running the 29x2.25 on the front and rear of my 2013 Stumpjumper Elite and these tires do not disappoint. I ride in southeast where it is loose over hard-packed and often muddy and damp trails, These tires perform flawless, carry more speed thru corners, rolls really good, and a lot less braking, best of both worlds. Anyone that says these tires do not hook up probably don't know how to setup or simply can't ride. I run tubeless with 27 psi in front and about 30 in rear, same setup as the stock Purgatory tires and there is really no comparison. Ardent is the way to ride, try them out.

These are some of the best tires I've ever owned. I use them primarily on my race bike, a Specialized FSR, and they hook up and hold the ground well. rolling resistance is minima; so you can really get going. Construction and quality is better than similarly priced Continental tires. I would place these more along the lines of Schwalbe tire quality, though they are slightly heavier than Racing Ralphs. They are very sturdy though and the sidewalls hold up well in Texas Hill Country terrain.

I had maxxis rekon tires originally on my mtb when I first got it. Since I mainly ride my bike on asphalt and pavement. The center wore down rather quickly. I switched to a smooth tire, which was much quieter. However, felt slow due to the lower tire pressure. I bought these maxxis ardent’s and I am quite happy. They roll fast, they’re quiet on hard surfaces, and they grip well in turns and wet weather! They arrived faster than expected even though I am in Japan and they came from stateside. Packaged nicely and looked the same as advertised! Can’t go wrong with these tires if you’re shopping for new ones!

Easy to mount and rides great as daily commuter

As described and on time

Replaced some old weathered tyresx These have transformed the bike. Amazing grip and look great so I am delighted with the upgrade. Great that tyres of this quality still available in 26.

Lo que mas me gusta de esta cubierta es lo versátil que es .se adapta perfectamente a todo tipo de terrenos con un excelente agarre Y una rodadura muy buena y rápida Su punto débil son los terrenos de mucho barro por lo demás es una rueda muy recomendable y segura

Pratico la mountain bike in modo amatoriale in lughe escursioni in montagna con discese su sentieri di media difficoltà. Da anni uso l'Ardent come gomma posteriore perchè è il guisto compromesso tra scorrevolezza e tenuta. All'anteriore di solito uso un HIgh Roller II in mescola 3C perchè ha una migliore tenuta in discesa. Inoltre con la versione TR/EXO di queste gomme ho un ottimo montaggio tubeless e non ho mai avuto problemi di forature. Impeccabile come sempre il servizio di vendita

Super maxxis, è una garanzia come azienda, provato è la differenza si sente, montati sull'anteriore ottima stabilità in discesa e ottimo grip sia in discesa che in salita, su terreni sassosi tende a partire, basta tenere la ruota sotto i 2 bar
