MTB Tyre, Maxxis Ardent Exo Tubeless Ready

Great tire mounted easily and inflated and seated tubeless with a floor pump. (a lot would depend on your exact rim but it worked for me - my experience with other tires required a compressor or CO2 burst). These tires are a good balance of toughness, traction and weight for the kind or riding I do. Mostly So Cal singletrack and fire roads. Not a downhill tire, more of a trail tire, a bit heavier than an XC race tire but with better traction.

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.

Installed these on a 2009 Specialized Saffire FRS Comp. These tires give this bike a modern look and feel! We ran these tires tubeless without issue. Would definitely recommend.

Very happy with the tires I ordered. I replaced the same tires that were 10 years old (got a lot of use out of them). New version excellent quality and relatively easy to install. My order showed up much sooner than promised. I’m very pleased with the purchase. Installed my replacement tires following known best practices and happy with results. Would recommend purchasing from this vendor again.

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!

Seems to be a good tire.

Perfect fit on my bike. Easy to install. Swapped these out for the 29x1.95 that I ran down to the wires in the tred. Close space fit on back tire so watch for size if your going up on width. Initial ride shows bike handles very well on straight and turns. Mostly ride on surface streets, sidwalks and hard pack trails, so these will be perfect.

So far it's been great, haven't had them on for long but 1st ride was a 80km ride on every surface you could think of.The tire has great grip, was worried on my ride how it would be in mud but it behaved very well, predictible. I had a lot of confidence turning in on burms.A great all around tire. Will update if theres any issues.
