Pros & Cons
- 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 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.

Description
Description
The Maxxis Ardent Race tire is ideally suited for technical XC race courses and endurance-length events. With its medium-height tread, the Ardent Race bridges the gap between the XC-oriented Ikon and the trail-oriented Ardent. The center knobs are ramped to reduce rolling resistance, and the side knobs are angled and stepped to provide great biting traction in corners. Choose the Ardent Race for your next demanding XC race or epic trail ride.
Maxxis 3C Triple compound mountain technology uses a harder, longer lasting base layer and two progressively softer top layers in order to optimize traction and stability. Maxxis offers three different configurations of our 3C Triple compound mountain technology: Maxx speed, Maxx Terra and Maxx Grip.
Maxx speed
Used 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 traction.
EXO Protection
An extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of select mountainbike tires. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tire remains unaffected. Choose EXO protection for exceptionally rocky, treacherous trails where the chance of sidewall cuts and abrasions is high.
Tubeless ready
Tubeless tires provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tire; and less chance of flattering since there is no tube. Maxxis Tubeless Ready (TR) tires provide the benefits of a UST tubeless tire without the weight penalty.

Great combo grip-low rolling resistance!
- Tom 10 January 2022
Great tyre to combine with an Ikon or Rekon Race at the back in summer. In winter both tyres Ardent Race, 2.35 at the front and 2.20 at the rear: pilots you fine through most conditions except the most muddy ones. The tyre combines grip with low rolling resistance.

Absolute top tubeless tyre
- Dr. Johann 2 September 2021
I have been using the Ardent Race as a tubeless tyre for about 2 years after a comparable product from a German manufacturer lost more and more of its quality. The first inflation is impossible without a compressor or a pump with a reservoir. Once inflated, the tyre is absolutely tight. The tyre has good grip, is relatively light and has quite good durability. Absolutely recommendable.
