Description
The Assegai tire is designed primarily for downhill racing and aggressive trail riding in mixed conditions. The knob height falls between the Minion DHR II and the Shorty. Like the Minion tires, the center knobs are heavily ramped on the leading edge to reduce rolling resistance. A small knob located between the center tread and side knobs provides a smooth transition while cornering. The Assegai offers predictable traction, even over slippery roots and rocks.
- 3C MaxxGrip compound uses the stickiest, slowest rebounding rubber offered by Maxxis to provide lots of traction on the trail
- New DH Casing provides more puncture protection and durability, while achieving improved compliance over chattery rocks and roots for better support under high cornering loads and impacts
- This improved progressive casing stiffness favors performance over sidewall stability or rim strike prevention, allowing for lower pressures (2 3 psi less than previous gen DH casing), resulting in slower tire rebound and more planted, damped feel
- World Cup Champion Greg Minnaar’s signature tire
- Recommended for trail, enduro and downhill conditions
- Intended for Front installation
