Pros & Cons
Pros & Cons
- The Maxxis Ardent MTB tyre's tread with knobs is great for grip on wet and dry sand and forest terrains.
- EXO protection layer protects the sidewalls of these mountain bike tyres from sharp objects.
- Tubeless Ready technology makes the tyres easy to make tubeless with 90ml of latex sealant per tyre.

- A more aggressive tread means higher rolling resistance on flat stretches.
- Tubeless sealant should generally be topped up every 3-6 months.

The Maxxis Ardent XO TLR MTB tyre uses an aggressive tread with knobs, designed to offer optimal traction combined with a classic look. The Skinwall tyres give your bike that little extra touch. The raised knobs next to the main tread ensure you'll cut through corners at speed without losing traction. The tread itself has been designed to grip onto the terrain when accelerating and braking.
The Maxxis Ardent EXO TLR Tanwall tyres can be used tubeless which greatly reduces your chances of getting a flat. By riding tubeless, you can use a lower tyre pressure without risking snake bites, as there's no inner tube to puncture. If there is a leak, then the liquid latex added to the tyre beforehand will quickly plug the hole.

EXO Protection
An extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material has been added to the sidewalls of select mountain bike tyres. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tyre remains unaffected. Choose EXO protection for exceptionally rocky, treacherous trails where the chance of sidewall cuts and abrasions is high.
Tubeless Ready
Tubeless tyres provide you with a number of advantages: you can use them at a lower tyre pressure, which improves grip and traction, lower rolling resistance compared to a clincher tyre, and you'll have a lower chance of snake bite punctures. Maxxis Tubeless Ready (TR) tyres have the advantages of a UST tubeless tyres but without a weight penalty.

Great tyre at a good price
- Arjan 13 November 2025
I was looking for a replacement with slightly coarser tread for the Maxxis Rekon Race with which I had too little traction/grip when climbing. I like this Maxxis Ardent a lot better in that respect and it works fine in the terrain I ride (mainly forest and trails).
Pros & Cons
Good grip when cornering
Good traction with climbing

i have been cheated on the purchase of a pair of mavic crossmax sl wheels. they refunded my money claiming logistical problems, and then i could see them again on sale 70 euros more expensive. that's misleading advertising, gentlemen.
