The latest addition to Maxxis' downhill and mountain bike tire range stands out with its aggressive tread in high - volume casings. Ideal for racers, the Ardent offers excellent traction. The large block - style side knobs provide multiple edges for high - speed cornering. The center tread, designed for braking and accelerating traction, has ramped knobs to reduce rolling resistance. It features EXO Protection, a proprietary woven sidewall material that boosts abrasion and cut resistance. The 60a MaxxPro compound offers great traction with minimal impact on tread life, a Maxxis standard. The single - ply nylon construction, wrapped from bead to bead, conforms well to the terrain and is lightweight. It's also tubeless ready.
Using your Maxxis Ardent tire is straightforward. First, make sure it fits your 29 - inch wheel with the right 2.25 width. If you're going tubeless, you'll need to use a tubeless valve and sealant. Just mount the tire on the rim, add the sealant, and inflate it. When riding, you'll notice the great traction on corners and during acceleration and braking. As for maintenance, regularly check the tire pressure to ensure optimal performance. Keep an eye out for cuts or excessive wear, especially on the side knobs. If you get a small cut, the EXO Protection should help prevent further damage. Store the tire in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its quality.
