The Maxxis "Ardent" is a classic tire within the brand, featuring an aggressive tread pattern designed for all-mountain riding. It is a highly well-balanced tire, providing excellent grip thanks to its sturdy side knobs, while the widely spaced center knobs make it resistant to mud buildup.
Maxxis “Ardent” 29×2.40″ ¥6,400 (excl. tax)
Those of you with your ears to the ground may already be aware of the fact that a skinwall version has been available in the US...
So, we’ve managed to bring in a limited quantity of this black/skinwall colorway that isn't normally distributed domestically!
Of course, this excellent tire isn't just about looks; while it's sure to make your mountain rides a lot more fun, it also rolls with a smoothness that belies its 2.4″ volume, making it a great recommendation for dirt touring and adventure riding as well.
(※I secretly threw them on Ryota from SimWorks' Hunter “Swamper” and it ended up looking incredibly cool)
Since the 29×2.40″ size is quite rare for a skinwall tire, this is one we highly recommend to anyone riding a Surly "Karatemonkey" or "Ogre," or a Salsa "El Mariachi"!
