Large block-style side knobs offer numerous edges for high-speed corners. Center tread, while designed for braking and accelerating traction, also features ramped knobs to minimize rolling resistance. With a wide variety of size offerings, the Ardent captures every mountain rider's needs.

To be honest, we could fill every category here with a Maxxis tyre. The Minion DHF is an outstanding aggro model and the Aspen is one of our favourite fast rubber choices. Sitting nicely between them, though, is the new Ardent, a high speed, low tread all-rounder that feels fast on any surface. It still delivers a remarkable amount of grip in a wide range of conditions, as is tall and tough enough to take a real beating.

The Ardent does well on big bikes and in tough conditions. 4.5 out of 5
