Maxxis Assegai Tire

While the Assegai excels in downhill racing, its tread pattern is versatile enough for aggressive trail riding. It is a heavier tire, so keep in mind that it prioritizes grip and stability over climbing efficiency.

Yes, the Assegai is tubeless-ready. It works best when paired with a quality sealant to take full advantage of the puncture protection layers.

This tire is designed for loose, unpredictable terrain. The tall knobs are specifically engineered to dig into loose dirt, mud, and loam, while the transitional knobs help maintain traction over roots and rocks.

The Assegai is optimized for modern, wider rims. As long as your rim is compatible with a 2.50-inch width and a 27.5-inch diameter, it should fit well.

3C MaxxTerra is a balance between grip and durability. It uses a softer compound for cornering traction while keeping a firmer base for rolling speed and longer tread life compared to softer downhill-specific compounds.
