The guys over at Maxxis sent us some of the 29er Ardents to test along side the DH casing 26er versions we are currently running on the Terremoto. So far, we are extremely impressed with the performance out of the 26er version, and we are excited about getting our hands on the 29er set. These tires are getting mounted to the Moots Mooto-X 29er that we previously reviewed for some good thrashing in the north Georgia mountains.
Out of the box, the tires are exactly what I was expecting. The tread is exactly like our other test tires and the size is, at first glance, going to be almost dead on to claimed. The 29er crowd has been begging for a more aggressive tread design for their rides, and this Ardent just may be the answer.
The Competition
- Specialized Resolution Pro 2.3 (No longer in production)
- Panaracer Rampage 2.35
- WTB Stout 2.30
- Kenda Nevegal 2.20
So far, these are about the only 29er tires that compete in the same weight and tread class. The all mountain tires in the 29er market have been slow to release, but we are starting to see some more promising tread patterns out of the tire manufacturers.
Look for the full review on the 2.6 and 2.4 26er versions later this week.
