Technology
EXO ProtectionAn 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.

Good tyre for winter.
2.4 version would be better for a trail mtb
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Recommended as a front tyre vs smart sams
Fine upgrade for my front tyre compared to the (polder model) Smart Sams I bought the bike with. Super grip in the woods, though noticeably more rolling noise and a bit more resistance on asphalt. Great front tyre for in the woods: fast and lots of grip. Recommended in combination with Maxxis Ikon at the back! Of course, delivery was excellent!

Nice upgrade rear tyre vs smart sams
Fine upgrade for my rear tyre compared to the (polder model) Smart Sams I bought the bike with. Great grip in the woods, though noticeably more rolling noise and a bit more resistance on asphalt. Fine rear tyre for in the woods: fast and lots of grip. Highly recommended! Of course, delivery was also top-notch!
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Fast all-rounder with good grip.
I ride the Ardent 29" 2.25 with the Ikon 2.20 on the back. Fine tyre combination for year-round riding on the Utrechtse Heuvelrug. The Ardent is well manoeuvrable and is a real all-rounder. Only at full speed hanging in sharp sandy downhill bends it doesn't like as much, it can tend to break out. But what tyre does that well. The tyre lends itself well to body steering. Came in at 798 grams.
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Good all-rounder
Fine tyre for in the woods around here. Where it can be muddy quite often. Less so for connecting between home and the woods. But still a reasonably fast tyre as the coarser studs
