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.

Sturdy sidewall, happy with purchase

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.

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.

Sono sorpreso favorevolmente perchè non mi aspettavo una scorrevolezza così da un 2.40 e tacchettato!E' paragonabile allo Schwalbe Hurricane da 2.25, che montavo prima, che ha un battistrada praticamente slick. Inoltre ha buon grip su smosso con sassi, erba bagnata e anche su roccia. Gonfiato a buona pressione garantisce aderenza della sola parte centrale del battistrada, con buona tenuta in curva per i tasselli laterali.. A pressione più bassa è ottimo per aumentare l'aderenza quando serve.Una scoperta! Vorrei provarlo all'anteriore (quando sostituirò il Kenda slant 6 che ho ora) e al posteriore mettere l'Ardent Race da 2.20, penso sia un ottima accoppiata.Consigliatissimo.

Lo que mas me gusta de esta cubierta es lo versátil que es .se adapta perfectamente a todo tipo de terrenos con un excelente agarreY una rodadura muy buena y rápidaSu 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
