The new addition to Maxxis' downhill and mountain bike range stands out with its aggressive tread in high - volume casings. Ideal for racers, the Ardent offers excellent traction. Its large block - style side knobs provide multiple edges for high - speed cornering. The centre tread, designed for braking and accelerating traction, has ramped knobs to reduce rolling resistance. With EXO Protection, a proprietary woven sidewall, it offers increased resistance to abrasion and cuts. The 60a MaxxPro compound ensures great traction with minimal impact on tread life. This single - ply tyre, wrapped with one layer of nylon from bead to bead, conforms well to the terrain and is lightweight. It's also tubeless ready.

Using this Maxxis tyre is easy. First, make sure it fits your bike's wheel size (27.5 x 2.25). If it's tubeless ready, you can set it up as a tubeless tyre for better performance and less chance of flats. When riding, the tyre's design will give you great traction on both straight paths and during high - speed turns. For maintenance, regularly check the tyre for any signs of cuts or excessive wear. Clean it after each ride to remove dirt and debris. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid riding on extremely rough or sharp surfaces that could damage the sidewall. With proper care, this tyre will serve you well for a long time.
