Maxxis Assegai Tire

Yes, this tire is E50 rated, meaning it is specifically engineered to handle the higher speeds, torque, and increased weight demands of modern electric mountain bikes.

The Assegai is a versatile performer. Its tall, aggressive knobs are designed to bite into loose, dusty trails, while the 3C MaxxGrip compound provides the necessary traction for wet roots and rocky, technical sections.

The Wide Trail casing is optimized for rims with an inner width of 30mm to 35mm. While it can work on slightly narrower or wider rims, using the recommended range ensures the tire profile sits correctly for optimal cornering support.

Absolutely. This specific model features a 2-ply DH casing with reinforced sidewalls, providing the durability and puncture resistance required for high-speed, aggressive downhill riding.

Yes, this is a tubeless-ready tire. When paired with a tubeless-compatible rim, sealant, and valve, you can run lower pressures for better grip and significantly reduce the risk of pinch flats.

3C MaxxGrip is Maxxis' softest rubber compound. It offers superior traction and rebound properties, which helps the tire conform to the terrain, though it will wear faster than harder compounds designed for cross-country riding.
