Description:An aggressive tread in high-volume casings distinguishes the newest addition to Maxxis' downhill and mountain disciplines. Designed with great traction in mind, the Ardent doesn't forget the racer. Large block-style side knobs offer numerous edges for high-speed corners. Center tread, while designed for braking and accelerating traction, also features ramped knobs to minimize rolling resistance. With a wide variety of size offerings, the Ardent captures every mountain rider's needs.

Date Reviewed: August 29, 2008 | | Favorite Trail: | my yard | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Price Paid: |
$40.00 | | Purchased At: | CBO | | Strengths: | Very good grip in loose conditions | | Weaknesses: | heavy, fairly slow roller | | Similar Products Used: | The most similar tire is the Kenda Nevegal 2.35 | | Bike Setup: | Nomad, Float 36 | | Bottom Line: | I'm VERY pleased with this tire. I live in the So. Cal area with very rocky, gravely and loose conditions and this tire does a great job. It grips really well and slides in a controlled way. It doesn't have much intermediate knobs so you have to trust the tire and really have to lean it over to catch the side knobs. I've definitely found that the tire hooks up better the more aggressive you ride it. This is a great alternative to the Nevegal that I love. I wouldn't necessarily say it's a better tire all around but in very rocky conditions I found it's handling characteristics to be more fun and probably a bit faster. I've only ridden it in these conditions though and only run it for about 5 hours so I can't say anything about durability. If it lasts longer than a Nevegal (which usually wears out on me in 3 months or less) then I will be very happy. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: April 27, 2008 | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Strengths: | Light weight, great grip, true 2.25 size.....nice change from Maxxis. | | Weaknesses: | Honestly at this early stage. | | Similar Products Used: | High roller, Crossmark | | Bike Setup: | Giant Trance X | | Bottom Line: | Very impressive tyre. Very, very light, only 40 grams heavier than a Crossmark. Lots of corner grip, have only washed out in very loose dust, and for a tyre with ramped edges it climbs bloody well too.
Loving them so far!!!!
If you're after a light weight big bagged all mountain/trail tyre get on board. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
