Strengths:    sidewall and wet weather traction

Weaknesses:    weight for expert model

Bottom Line:   
Got tire when i ripped 2 CG panaracers on one ride. It was all the lbs had in stock and saw weight was close to 900grams. Figure it winter what the heck.

Rode excellant as rear tire through rock gardens that I haven't cleaned in a long time. Put it on my flow front wheel since it was only tubeless tire i had and it great in front as well.

Got an team issue for next season to try out. I love the 2011 models have such great sidewalls and don't rip knobs like the wtb bronson tire. I feel this tire can be a bomber tire on any terrian. The tire cleans mud excellant and grips is excellant in rocks and mud.

Strengths:    Big, burly knobs, traction

Weaknesses:    none yet

Bottom Line:   
i've had the ACX jones on the rear, the MK 2.4's front, litlle traction at best on the central TX dust, leaves, rocks and boulders, these 29-4's could have been named Bulldozers. Traction to spare and a huge footprint, they also feel heavy and slow, a trade off I'll take for traction, neither weight weenie or racer. Even pushing the bike the difference is remakable, feels attached to the ground. I've got the Expert, heavier than the team, don't know aout the sidewalls yet, only a few rides so far.

Submitted by noosa2 a Weekend Warrior from Phoenix

Date Reviewed: July 3, 2011

Strengths:    Great grip and nice volume

Weaknesses:    Super thin sidewalls

Bottom Line:   
Love the grip and the volume of this tire but probably will not buy another one as the sidewalls are just to thin for the rocky Phoenix single track.

After about 3 months of use the stan's began seeping from the sidewalls. It looked like someone had picked the sidewalls with a pin in about 30+ places each side.

From Ardent 2.4 29 to what large mud-biased tyre?

I'm wondering what 29er riders on UST Ardent 2.4's have changed onto when it gets really wet and muddy. Mainly as a front tyre for cornering grip. I've had a search and Hans Da   Read More »
