The latest addition to Maxxis' downhill and mountain bike range, the Ardent tyre, stands out with its aggressive tread in high - volume casings. It's designed for both great traction and racers. The large block - style side knobs provide multiple edges for high - speed cornering. The centre tread, engineered for braking and accelerating traction, has ramped knobs to reduce rolling resistance. With EXO Protection, a proprietary woven sidewall material, it offers enhanced abrasion and cut resistance in an integrated design. The 60a MaxxPro compound ensures excellent traction with minimal impact on tread life, a Maxxis standard. It's a single - ply tyre, made of one layer of nylon wrapped from bead to bead, which conforms well to the terrain and is lightweight. Plus, it's tubeless ready.
Using this Maxxis Ardent tyre is straightforward. Just mount it on your 27.5 - inch mountain bike wheels as you would with any other tyre. Since it's tubeless ready, you can choose to use it tubeless for a smoother ride and less risk of flats. When riding, the large side knobs will give you great grip in corners at high speeds, and the centre tread will help with braking and accelerating. For maintenance, regularly check the tyre for any cuts or signs of wear. Clean the tyre after each ride to remove dirt and debris, which can reduce its traction and lifespan. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the rubber from deteriorating. If you notice any significant damage, it's best to replace the tyre to ensure your safety on the trails.
