Maxxis Assegai Tire 29 x 2.5 Tubeless Folding | Black | Wide Trail, MaxxGrip, EXO+ for Mountain & Downhill Riding

Elevate your mountain biking experience with the Maxxis Assegai Tire 29 x 2.5, designed for serious trail riders and downhill enthusiasts. Crafted with precision engineering and innovative materials, this tire offers unbeatable performance, durability, and control across diverse terrains.

Materials & Construction:

Built for rugged reliability, the Assegai features a durable tubeless-ready clincher casing with a folding bead for easy installation and transport. The tire is constructed with a 60 TPI (Threads Per Inch) casing, ensuring a supple ride while maintaining strength. The 3C MaxxGrip compound delivers the stickiest, slow-rebounding rubber Maxxis offers, maximizing traction on challenging climbs, techy descents, and slippery roots or rocks. The EXO+ reinforcement provides medium-duty puncture protection for extended riding sessions, making it suitable for aggressive trail riding and light e-bike use.

Performance & Engineering:

The Assegai tire excels in mixed conditions, combining aggressive knob design with innovative engineering. The knob height-positioned between the Minion DHR II and Shorty-features heavily ramped center knobs that reduce rolling resistance and enhance speed. A subtle transition knob improves cornering precision, ensuring predictable traction whether you're navigating loose dirt, mud, or technical terrain. Designed to optimize grip and stability, the Wide Trail (WT) construction aligns perfectly with modern 35mm inner width rims, delivering an optimal tire profile and increased contact patch for superior control.

Components & Technology:

Equipped with tubeless technology, the Assegai allows for lower pressures, increasing traction and comfort without risking flats. Its strategically designed tread layout includes a combination of ramped center knobs for low rolling resistance and aggressive side knobs for aggressive cornering and grip. The tire's Sidewall and Tread are reinforced with MaxxProtection (Tread & Sidewall) to withstand abrasions, rocks, and roots, facilitating longer-lasting performance in demanding trail conditions.

Style & Use Case:

The sleek black finish and dynamic tread pattern showcase a professional and aggressive aesthetic suited for downhill racing, enduro, all-mountain riding, and aggressive trail pursuits. Whether you're tackling technical descents, rocky trails, or mixed terrains, the Assegai delivers confidence, control, and high performance on every ride. Its versatile design makes it ideal for riders looking for a reliable, high-traction tire engineered specifically for downhill and extreme trail riding.

Innovative & Differentiating Features:

- Signature tire of World Cup Champion Greg Minnaar, engineered for top-tier downhill performance

- 3C MaxxGrip compound for maximum traction and control in varied trail conditions

- Wide Trail (WT) construction optimized for 35mm inner width rims for improved profile and handling

- EXO+ puncture protection for durability and peace of mind during aggressive riding

- Tubeless-ready design for enhanced puncture resistance, easier installation, and lower pressure benefits

This tire was exactly what I was looking for in a downhill tire that does not washout/slide thru the hairpin corners.
My level of confidence was greatly improved with the grip going thru the tight downhill turns in loose sand and small pebbles.;
