What are these like?

Basically im looking for something that does the same as an ardent, but bigger than the 2.25 and smaller than the monstrous 2.4.

So –

~650g
~real size 2.3
~fast
~still has some bite in terms of climbing/braking/off camber

Like my XR3 on back of frankenbike, used for just riding about i.e everything.

I get on well with the xr3 in 29er guise. Have been susceptible to cuts on the flint on the local trails but fixed with a rubber worm every time. Just replaced them with specialized ground control as they were what the lbs had. And they are proving to be a better all rounder for me especial in the wet.

Had xr3 a few years ago, the rear lasted a day on South Downs flint

Specialized Ground control

I have Bonedraggers on two bikes but I don’t think I’d like to ride them on flints. Nobby Nic double defence for that.

Not had any issues with tears around the South wales area which is pretty rough & rocky, used of ht and fs bikes. Run tubeless

Wider rim and an Ardent 2.25?
