According to the product specialist

Pros
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 Rocket Ron's open studded tread is well suited to wet and muddy conditions.
The Addix Speed rubber compound gives you the lowest rolling resistance while still providing sufficient grip and durability.
The Super Ground carcass features a SnakeSkin weave from bead to bead for good puncture resistance.
Only a small speed penalty thanks to the smooth compound despite the semi-high studs.
TLE (TubeLess Easy) technology makes the tyres easy to make tubeless with 90ml of latex sealant per tyre.
The Vittoria Terreno G2 is a very fast tyre suitable for dry and hardpack surfaces.
The Terreno G2 is equipped with Vittoria's lightest Tubeless Ready carcass.
With the taller knobs on the sides, you maintain grip in corners and control during braking.
4C Graphene 2.0 is made up of 4 layers for the necessary puncture protection and durability.
Tubeless Ready technology makes the tyres easy to make tubeless with 90ml of latex sealant per tyre.
Cons
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.
The weight of the Super Ground carcass is higher than the faster Super Race carcass, but it offers more puncture protection.
Tubeless sealant should generally be topped up every 3-6 months.
The semi-slick profile has little traction on loose surfaces.
Tubeless sealant should generally be topped up every 3-6 months.
