Enhance your mountain biking performance with the Maxxis Assegai Tire 27.5 x 2.6 Tubeless Folding 3C MaxxTerra EXO+. Engineered for downhill racing and aggressive trail riding, this high-performance tire delivers superior grip, durability, and control across mixed terrains.

Materials & Construction:

Constructed with a durable, lightweight folding bead, the Maxxis Assegai features a 60 TPI casing for optimal flexibility and puncture resistance. The tire’s tubeless-ready clincher design allows for a seamless seal, reducing weight and tire roll resistance.

Performance & Engineering:

Designed with 3C MaxxTerra triple compound technology, the Assegai offers an ideal balance of grip and tread life.

Wide Trail (WT) construction aligns the tread profile perfectly for modern 35mm inner width rims, ensuring maximum contact patch and enhanced stability in aggressive riding conditions.

– Cornering & Traction: Knob design features a strategic height placement-between that of the Minion DHR II and Shorty-to deliver predictable, confident cornering on varied surfaces. The ramped center knobs facilitate reduced rolling resistance, while the small transition knobs improve grip during turns.

– Signature Design: Developed in collaboration with World Cup downhill legend Greg Minnaar, the Assegai combines race-proven engineering with innovative features for superior control and durability.
