How come the ardent scores so poorly on the bicycle rolling resistance web site?
Is it really that slow?

I find they roll pretty fast TBH, infact I have two fitted on my hardtail for that very reason!

Considering the roughest of their test rollers is still comparable to pretty smooth asphalt I wouldn't worry about their charts for actual riding.

In the real world would you say they roll as fast as the nobby nic or faster?

Yes it's really that slow, Maxxis only make one tyre that isn't slow and that's the Aspen.
Some tyres are advertised as fast, others seem fast, but its not until you ride one of the german xc tyres you realise what fast actually is.

Forward or sideways?
