Maxxis Ardent 27.5" folding tire dual-compound

The Ardent is the MAXXIS weapon for all mountain, trail and freeride. The design is geared towards a lot of traction, but does not forget the racer. Large, block-shaped shoulder studs bite into fast corners with many edges. The center of the profile has bevelled studs to minimize rolling resistance. The most important component of the tire is certainly the rubber compound on the tread. By changing the composition of the rubber compound, the engineers can decisively influence the performance of a tire. Two optically identical tires can therefore have completely different properties. Whether one, two or three rubber compounds in the tire: The decisive factor for optimum driving performance in the respective area of application of a tire is not the number of rubber compounds on the tread, but above all their quality. MAXXIS has been known for the outstanding quality of its rubber compounds for many years.

DualCompound
Two different rubber compounds are processed into a tread strip. We plan the arrangement of the compounds according to the desired properties of the tires.

MPC
The MAXXIS PERFORMANCE COMPOUND is an all-round compound. This rubber compound also benefits from the development expertise of the largest bicycle tire manufacturer in the world and impresses in daily use with a very long service life, grip and maximum reliability.

MaxxPro
The MaxxPro Compound is the first tire compound for bicycle tires in which the components were ground extremely finely. This mixture is ideal from all-mountain to downhill: more grip, good damping properties, long service life, low rolling resistance. And no tunnel tears - a success of the exclusive MAXXIS MaxxPro technology.

EXO protection
This extremely cut and abrasion resistant material protects the sidewall of various MTB tires. It is very tightly woven, light and very flexible. As a result, the performance of the tires remains convincingly good.

Tubeless Ready (TR)
Tubeless tires have many advantages: You can drive with less air pressure. This gives you better traction and reduces rolling resistance. And where there is no hose, the risk of a breakdown also decreases. MAXXIS TR tires are better prepared for assembly with sealing milk than other "tubeless ready" tires. Like a real UST tubeless tire, the bead of the TR tire is completely covered with a rubber layer. As a result, tubing-free assembly is successful on all rims with standard dimensions when they are first inflated and with little liquid. “Normal” MAXXIS MTB tires can also be fitted with tubeless sealant like tires from other manufacturers, as the carcass fabric is very dense. Only the new MAXXIS TR models are officially approved for tubeless assembly and guaranteed by MAXXIS. The tubeless assembly of other models is at your own risk.

E-bike
All MAXXIS tires can be ridden on pedelecs / e-bikes with assistance up to 25 km / h. Fast pedelecs with assistance up to 45 km / h must be equipped with tires that are manufactured in accordance with the ECE-R75 standard and have the relevant information on the tire. MAXXIS models with the ebike logo meet and exceed the requirements for tires for fast e-bikes and the ECE-R75.

Silkshield (SS)
SilkShield offers Silkworm protection all around, from rim edge to rim edge, thus preventing cuts and other defects on the tire sidewalls and under the tread.
