According to the product specialist
Pros
Great downhill tyre for varying conditions on dry and wet sand to forest surfaces. |
The tall knobs on the sides of the tyre are reinforced, giving extra support and grip when cornering. |
DoubleDown for a two-layer 120 tpi carcass with a butyl insert. This keeps the weight down for enduro, but offers the protection of a downhill tyre. |
Triple compound MaxxGrip uses the softest rubber compounds for ultimate grip and shock absorption. |
Tubeless Ready technology makes the tyres easy to tubeless with 90ml of latex sealant per tyre. |
A specialist on cross country and marathon courses thanks to its powerful grip on rocks and roots, in both dry and wet weather. |
Perfect to use as a rear tyre thanks to its lower rolling resistance, combined with a front tyre with taller knobs for more grip. |
The short knobs on the tread surface make the Ardent Race fast on straights and the tall side knobs give you confidence in corners. |
The Exo Protection protects the sidewalls from sharp objects. |
Tubeless Ready technology makes the tyres easy to make tubeless with 90ml of latex sealant per tyre. |
The Nobby Nic open knob profile is well suited to a variety of surfaces in wet to muddy conditions. |
The Super Ground carcass has a SnakeSkin fabric layer from heel to heel for good puncture and cut protection. |
The SpeedGrip rubber compound is very versatile and therefore fits well with the Nobby Nic's tread design. |
Thanks to the new tread design, self-cleaning ability in wet conditions is very much improved. |
TLE (TubeLess Easy), suitable for riding with 90 ml of liquid latex per tyre to quickly fix punctures. |
Cons
As the Assegai 3C MaxxGrip DD TR tyres are specifically made for downhill racing, they are on the heavy side and may be slightly more difficult to mount than more flexible tyres. |
Tubeless sealant should generally be topped up every 3-6 months. |
The soft MaxxSpeed rubber might offer a lot of grip, it also wears out quickly. |
Tubeless sealant should generally be topped up every 3-6 months. |
On very hard terrain and on the road, the tread of the Nobby Nic is too coarse for optimal grip. |
Tubeless sealant should generally be topped up every 3-6 months. |
