The Maxxis Assegai 29 x 2.50 WT 120x2 TPI Foldable 3C MaxxGrip Double Down Tubeless Tyre is a top-tier choice for riders seeking exceptional performance on demanding trails. Designed in collaboration with World Cup Champion Greg Minnaar, this tyre combines the best features of iconic Maxxis treads such as the Minion DHR II, High Roller, and Shorty. Its tall, aggressive knobs deliver outstanding traction in loose, wet, and medium terrain, providing riders with confidence and control across varied surfaces.
Constructed with MaxxGrip technology, the Assegai tyre offers unmatched grip and slow rebound properties, making it ideal for downhill applications where traction is critical. The EXO+ puncture protection layer, combining SilkShield and EXO materials, enhances durability significantly by protecting against tread punctures, sidewall damage, and pinch flats. Its tubeless-ready design allows for lower air pressures, improving traction and reducing rolling resistance, while the Wide Trail (WT) construction ensures optimal tread layout for modern wider rims, delivering superior handling and cornering control.
With a folding bead type and a robust 60 TPI casing, this tyre is lightweight yet resilient, capable of withstanding the toughest conditions. The Max PSI rating of 50 ensures versatility for different riding styles, and the Double Down casing adds extra sidewall protection for aggressive trail use. Whether you’re tackling technical descents or navigating challenging corners, the Maxxis Assegai is engineered to elevate your ride.
Is the Maxxis Assegai compatible with tubeless setups?
Yes, this tyre is tubeless-ready, allowing you to run lower air pressures for improved traction and reduced rolling resistance.
What terrain is the Assegai best suited for?
It excels on loose, medium, and wet terrains, especially where aggressive cornering and traction are required.
How does the EXO+ protection benefit the tyre?
EXO+ combines SilkShield and EXO materials to significantly increase puncture resistance, sidewall durability, and reduce the risk of pinch flats.
