Maxxis Assegai sizing true to spec.

Mounted on Hunt EnduroWide 2 front rim (33mm ID) with Rimpact inserts the tire measures 2.44" (62mm) at the casing and 2.5" (63.5) at the widest knob. So Maxxis tire true to spec, WTF?

As a side note, the Rimpact inserts have been the easiest to install. Using the proper technique and a little soapy water spray, the tire with insert slipped right on. I did not need a tire lever, all by hand. I'm 65 years old, so hand strength ain't what it used to be.

And as always BTD is prompt to ship and accurate.

Thank you for your feedback.

Assegai EXO 2.5

Awesome front tire that hooks up in most any condition. About 8 months on tire now with weekly, year-round riding involving lots of fireroad climbs to DH trail descents and tire still holding up and riding great with some side lug wear is all. Zero tears to tread while ridden hard in high speed, mixed trail terrain while I killed many DHR EXO, EXO casing rear tires in past year. Would run Assegai rear but not enough clearance since tire is exactly 2.6 in reality on 3035 rims from widest tread points. So a big 2.5 and why great as a front. Running Kenda Hellkat 2.4 rear that seems to be a good match in most all conditions.

Thank you for your feedback.

You can push this tire harder, it does nothing surprising, and recovers quicker.

I ride the Assegai fast on steep, sketchy, rugged downhills. You can push it harder into corners before it starts to give way, but it does so in a predictable way and it's easy to recover. My favorite front tire.

Thank you for your feedback.
