For the lack of grip that the ardent and ardent race offer, they are quite heavy.
I dont run them but I see a lot XC race bikes with an Ardent Race front and Ikon rear, 720g in a 2.2.

Maxxis are the goto for the big tyres... XC is Conti, Vittoria or Schwalbe, I would put any of their trail/XC offerings on any bike.

720g for an XC tyre? An EXO minion isn’t much more.
Nobody compares the weight of 26" tyres anymore :rolleyes:

A lot of them are up there now. Most front tyres are pushing 700g.

IIRC The Vittoria Barzo 2.35 TNT on my XC Race bike is ~750g, the Mezcal rear in 2.25 TNT was also about 700g.

Not many 500g tyres now with any puncture protection... the Furious Freds I use on my gravel bike, with no grip are around there.
