Description
The Maxxis Assegai mountain tire, sized 27.5″ x 2.50, is designed for downhill racing and aggressive trail riding in mixed conditions. It features a tread pattern with knob height between the Minion DHR II and Shorty, with heavily ramped center knobs to reduce rolling resistance. A small knob between the center and side knobs provides smooth cornering transitions and predictable traction on slippery roots and rocks.
This tire uses MaxxTerra, an updated triple compound that enhances durability while maintaining grip, tread wear, and rolling resistance. The EXO+ casing offers medium-duty puncture protection, suitable for all-around trail riding and light weight e-bikes. It is tubeless ready with a folding bead and 60 TPI casing.
Intended primarily for front installation, the Assegai is recommended for trail, enduro, and downhill use. It weighs approximately 1150 grams and comes in black. This model is the signature tire of World Cup Champion Greg Minnaar.
