Uncompromised Grip for Technical Gravity Riding

The Maxxis Assegai is a signature tire developed by World Cup champion Greg Minnaar, designed to provide consistent, predictable grip across all trail conditions. Named after the Zulu spear, the Assegai features tall, aggressive knobs that bite deep into loose soil and loam while remaining stable on hard-packed surfaces and wet roots. The 3C MaxxTerra compound offers a perfect balance of traction and longevity, providing a softer, more compliant feel than standard compounds without the rapid wear of a dedicated race rubber.

This version is built for the rigors of modern enduro and aggressive trail riding, featuring the updated EXO+ construction. This casing combines SilkShield and EXO layers to significantly improve tread puncture protection, sidewall durability, and resistance to pinch flats. The Wide Trail (WT) casing is optimized for rims with a 30-35mm internal width, ensuring the tire maintains its intended profile for maximum cornering confidence. Fully Tubeless Ready (TR), the Assegai allows you to run lower pressures for increased traction and a smoother ride.

Key Features:

• Greg Minnaar Signature Design: A high-performance tread pattern optimized for predictable traction at any lean angle.
• 3C MaxxTerra Compound: An intermediate triple-compound configuration that balances superior grip with reduced rolling resistance.
• Updated EXO+ Casing: Provides a robust defensive layer against punctures and sidewall tears, ideal for aggressive trail and e-MTB use.
• Wide Trail (WT) Optimization: Specifically engineered for modern wide rims to ensure a stable, squared-off contact patch.
• Tubeless Ready (TR): Easily sets up without tubes, reducing weight and allowing for lower, grip-enhancing tire pressures.
• 120 TPI Construction: Features a high thread count casing that offers a supple feel and better conformation to trail irregularities.
• All-Condition Performance: Excels in everything from dry dust and rocky chutes to damp, greasy forest trails.
