Pros
Traction, low rolling resistance (comparing to what I had before)
Cons
cornering not bad, just need to get used to.
Review
I've installed this Ardent on rear wheel after cut in sidewall of my Specialized Purgatory Control. Now, after about 300 miles on it, I can say this tire roll faster and easier, has great climbing traction. But I found it a bit less braking power on hardpack, comparing to my previous one. And cornering is good, just took a little time for me to get used to it. In general I would recommend this tire to a friend.
Pros
Great climbing traction, decent rolling ability, awesome braking. High volume.
Cons
A little better cornering manners.
Review
I have the 2.4 Ardent single-ply, running with Stan's NoTubes, mounted to Forte Loco wheels. Great all-around tire! Big improvement over my old Stick-E Nevegals. Cornering takes some getting used to, I wish it was a hair more consistent through the lean.

Pros
Everything...For an all-mountain tire these work exceptionally well. They have gret grip in corners and climbing. They stop on a dime.
Cons
There is no 6 star.
Review
A perfect tire for those who mix up the terrain and want high levels of control and traction. Great size for hucking and doing drops. Heck I even use these for 10 ft drops. Love them.
