The Ardent Race is ideally suited for technical XC race courses and endurance/marathon events. With its medium-height tread, the Ardent Race bridges the gap between the XC-oriented Ikon and the trail-oriented Ardent. Ramped center knobs reduce rolling resistance, and stepped side knobs provide great biting traction in corners.

Specifications

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
Optimize Traction And Stability. Maxxis Offers Three Different Configurations Of Our 3C Triple Compound Mountain Technology: Maxxspeed,
Maxxterra And Maxxgrip

Dual Compound
Two compounds used within the tread of select tires to offer lower rolling resistance and increased cornering grip.

MaxxSpeed
Used primarily in cross country tires, the two compounds in the outer layer arespecially formulated to reduce rollingresistance and optimize treadwear and traction. 

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 Flatting Since There Is No Tube. Liquid Sealants Should Only Be Used In The Following Types Of Tires: Tubeless Road, Tubular, And Tubeless Ready. The Use Of Liquid.

Foldable Bead
Foldable beads also keep the tire secured to the rim but are lighter weight and easily transported. The bead is made of spun aramid or Kevlar Fibers.

Threads Per Inch (TPI)
The number of threads that cross through one square inch of asingle ply of the tire’s casing. Lower TPI gives better puncture, cut and abrasion resistance but is heavier. Higher TPI conforms better to the terrain, offering a smoother, more comfortable ride while reducing the weight of the tire. Maxxis TPI ratings are the threads-per-inch of a single casing ply, as compared to some competitor TPI ratings.

Exo
An extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of select mountain tires. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tire remains unaffected.
