Description
Maxxis Assegai 29" Wide Trail 3C/EXO+/TR MTB Tire
The Maxxis Assegai tire is named after the iron-tipped spear used by the Zulu people of South Africa. Greg Minnaar, a native of South Africa, thought it was a fitting name for a tire ready to do battle on the mountain. The tall knobs punch through dust and loam to find traction, but also offer support and confidence on wet roots and rocks. While other tires excel only in certain conditions, the new Maxxis Assegai is built to go fast everywhere.
Features:
3C MaxxGrip rubber compound available
Dual-ply downhill casing
Tubeless compatible
Wide Trail casing optimized for 30-35mm rims

Best PNW tire for the rainy season
Picked this up to pair with a Maxx Grip DHR II for the rear. This tire grips so well in the wet season, especially in loam. Running maxx grip lets me run a slightly higher tire pressure for roll speed, and let the rubber compound do it's job.

Big. Burly. Grippy
When going downhill and you want to stick to the trail.... this tire is the one. Paired with DHR in the back, of course. The Assegai is a bit more versatile than the DHF.

Super Grip - very consistent cornering. No issues with bite area
Replaced a DHF with the Assegai.. consistent cornering. Went to thicker casing. This reduced rebound caused be a thinner tire Sidewall.

Good choice
Good compromise between toughness and weight. Intermediate compound. Gives good warning before it washes out. Mounts easy

Amazing grip
If your looking for grip the Assegai is the right choice - for gravity or aggressive E-MTB -love this tire- I'd does roll slow so not my choice for AM or Trail riding .
