Maxxis Ardent Race EXO 3C MaxxSpeed TLR MTB Tyre

The Maxxis Ardent Race tyre 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 central knobs are lowered to reduce rolling resistance, and the side knobs are angled for better traction in corners. Choose the Ardent Race for your next demanding XC race or epic trail ride.

3C Triple compound mountain
Maxxis 3C Triple compound mountain technology uses a harder, longer lasting base layer and two progressively softer top layers in order to optimise traction and stability. Maxxis offers three different versions of their 3C Triple compound mountain technology: Maxx speed, Maxx Terra and Maxx Grip.

Maxx speed
Used primarily in cross country and enduro tyres, the two compounds in the outer layer are especially formulated to reduce rolling resistance and to optimise grip.

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 the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a clincher; and less chance of flats since there's no tube. Maxxis Tubeless Ready (TR) tyres provide the benefits of a UST tubeless tyre without the weight penalty.

Weight: 770 grams
This weight has been indicated by the manufacturer, and may differ from the tyre's true weight if you weigh it at home yourself. This deviation is generally small and is due to the production process.
