Specifications

Discover the Maxxis Assegai Tire 27.5 x 2.5 - the ultimate choice for downhill racing and aggressive trail riding. Engineered for high-performance mountain biking, this tubeless-ready folding tire combines innovative materials, cutting-edge technology, and a rugged design to elevate your ride on challenging terrains.
