The newest tire in the Maxxis MTB line is the Ardent, and it offers riders unbeatable traction with a self-adjusting tread. In its raw form the Ardent would be an aggressive rear tire, with delta-shaped center tread sections for grabbing dirt under acceleration and braking. However, the channel cuts in the center and side knobs change the simple block tread design into a grippy, toothy tire that hooks up on anything from hardpack to slickrock, while still presenting that unified delta shape that claws deep into loose and wet conditions. This is the 2.6 diameter, double-ply wire-bead version made for DH and freeride, and it comes in either triple-compound or 60a sticky rubber.
