The Maxxis Assegai 29 x 2.60 60 TPI Foldable 3C MaxxTerra EXO Tubeless Tyre is the ultimate choice for riders seeking exceptional traction and durability in challenging terrain. Crafted from the insights of 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 knobs are expertly designed to penetrate loose soil and dusty trails while maintaining grip and confidence on wet roots and rocky surfaces.
Featuring the advanced 3C MaxxGrip compound, this tyre offers superior grip and controlled rebound, making it ideal for downhill riders who demand precise handling in technical conditions. The EXO+ puncture protection technology reinforces the tyre’s sidewalls and tread, significantly enhancing resistance against cuts, flats, and impact damage. Tubeless ready design allows for lower air pressures, improved traction, and reduced rolling resistance, providing a smoother, more responsive ride.
With a wide trail profile optimized for modern rims, the Assegai ensures a balanced, supportive contact patch that improves cornering control without sacrificing rolling efficiency. Whether you’re navigating loose or wet conditions, this tyre stands out as a reliable and high-performance solution for aggressive trail and enduro riding.

Can I use this tyre tubeless?

What rim widths work best with this tyre?
This tyre features Wide Trail technology optimized for rims with 30-35mm inner widths, providing an ideal balance between support and traction.
How does EXO+ protection benefit me?
EXO+ combines silk shield and EXO layers to significantly improve puncture resistance and sidewall durability, extending the tyre’s lifespan in rough conditions.
