When we are looking for a fast-rolling trail and cross-country tire, the Maxxis Ardent is a perfect choice. The Maxxis Ardent has a knobby and directional tread pattern that gives reliable traction in dry conditions while still rolling fast and efficiently. Aggressive side knobs dig in deep when cornering, and a spaced-out center tread sheds mud easily. The Ardent is available in two sizes, so we can choose between the wider trail tire or the lighter, faster-rolling XC tire, and all variations of the Ardent come equipped with Maxxis's EXO protection for enhanced sidewall stiffness and protection.
