Fit & Design:
The Ardent Race tire from Maxxis is ideally suited for technical XC race courses and endurance-length eventsThe center knobs are ramped to reduce rolling resistance, and the side knobs are angled and stepped to provide great biting traction in cornersUsed primarily in cross country and enduro tires, the two compounds in the outer layer are specially formulated to reduce rolling resistance and optimize treadwear and tractionEXO: extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of select mountain tires This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tire remains unaffectedTubeless-ready tires offer ability to run lower air pressures for improved traction, lower rolling resistance (compared to a tube-type tire) and decreased chance of flattingRecommended for exceptionally rocky, treacherous trails where the chance of sidewall cuts and abrasions is high
