Maxxis Ardent Race MTB Tire 27.5×2.6 Tubeless Folding w/ EXO & 3CMaxxSpeed

The Ardent Race 27.5×2.6″ Mountain Bike Tire is engineered for riders who demand versatility on every trail. Straddling the line between cross-country speed and trail resilience, this tubeless-ready clincher delivers rapid rolling efficiency on hardpack surfaces while maintaining grip in loose, technical terrain—perfect for all-mountain adventures or weekend trailblazers tackling mixed conditions.

Key Features:
– Dual-Purpose Tread Design: Ramped center knobs slash rolling resistance on packed trails yet bite firmly during hard braking, while aggressive stepped side lugs with siped edges carve through loose soil or wet rocks with confidence.
– Terrain Domination: Optimized for loose-over-hard transitions, medium-difficulty trails, and even wet conditions, this tire thrives where other models falter—ideal for hilly singletracks or unpredictable off-road excursions.
– Durability & Lightness: At 760g (27.5″), it balances XC-style weight savings with reinforced sidewall flat protection, ensuring longevity without sacrificing agility.
