rad006 Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 They are for a 29 Hardtail currently on Racing Ralphs 2.25....
rad006 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Posted June 18, 2013 Oh I ride mostly the spruit and hardpack areas like Rietvlei...I am doing the Imana Wildride so these need to float over beach sand!!!
Gideondv Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 With the Ikon you will save weight & the EXO version is *** strong , oh & faster!
rouxtjie Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the reply what about the Geax?Too heavy, doesn't like some rims Edited June 18, 2013 by rouxtjie
NotSoBigBen Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 I find the Ikon's don't inspire much confidence on 'loose' surfaces but I am also not as in 'touch' with my bike as some. Haven't tried the Ardents but am about to try some Aspen's (as soon as my flu is proper gone), at lower than my normal pressures as per Eldron's advice ChUkKy and SaKiwi 2

River Rat Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Ardents are the best all purpose in the maxis range. They handled a wet Day 2 on Sani but were great on the hard pack and loose gravel. But most of all they're virtually bombproof, it's one of the few tires that I have replaced due to wear without ever having a puncture.
Hairy Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Ardents rock. Loved them on my 26er and love them even more on the.29er. If yoi want speed then put the Ardent on the front and the ikon on back. I have also just bought another Ardent now to replace the older one on the Front. The older one will go on the back and replace the Suguaro on the back. The Saguaro rolls well and actually grips very well for the tiny knobs, the casing is supple and rather tough, I have just found on both the 26 & 29er that the Saguaro tends to gold a little easier than the Ardents so have been running slightly higher pressures for this tyre. The Ardent in the other hand feels very good at lower pressure, is tough as nails, roils well and also wears well. H
LuckyLuke Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Ikons for the weight, they are nice and light,however I would stick with the Racing ralph snakeskins.
rad006 Posted June 19, 2013 Author Posted June 19, 2013 I am seriously considering the Ardent in the front now and Ikon rear but I am not really a big fan of putting different treads on front and rear....
