How about this for some late Sunday night stoke?! We got our hands on some of the new prototype Ardents from Maxxis...specifically the 2.6 (3c compound) and 2.4 (60a compound). They are going on the Terremoto for some testing running the 2.6 in the front and the 2.4 in the rear.
The pictures aren't great, but you will get the idea. I hate shooting tires...the pictures just never seem to come out right.
Look for a detailed review after some good thrashing, but right off the bat...these seem really light for downhill casing tires. In the meantime, check out the Maxxis Ardent on their website.
From Maxxis.com
An aggressive tread in high-volume casings distinguishes the newest addition to Maxxis' downhill and mountain disciplines. Designed with great traction in mind, the Ardent doesn't forget the racer. 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.

I thought the 2.6 was the 3C and the 2.4 was the 60a durometer. Did I give you the wrong ones?

@SS: You’re correct. Typo on my part…edited now so that it is correct.
