Maxxis Assegai Tubeless MTB Tire – 27.5×2.5, EXO+ Protection, 3C MaxxGrip

Assegai Tire: Dominance on Downhill & Aggressive Trails

For riders seeking precision on technical descents and unmatched grip in mixed terrain, the Assegai tire redefines downhill performance. Crafted by World Cup Champion Greg Minnaar, this tubeless-ready clincher delivers unrivaled control whether you’re bombing roots or carving tight switchbacks.

Key Features:
– Optimized Knob Design: Combines the speed of the Minion DHR II with the aggressive bite of the Shorty, featuring ramped center knobs for low rolling resistance and a unique transition knob that bridges center tread to side lugs—ensuring smooth cornering on loose surfaces.
– Confidence in Chaos: Predictable traction on slippery rocks and roots thanks to its balanced tread pattern, while flat protection in both tread and sidewall adds peace of mind on remote trails.
– Versatile Fit: Available in 27.5 x 2.5 size (ISO 64mm), this folding bead tire adapts to 584/650b/27.5″ rims, making it ideal for downhill rigs or aggressive trail setups.
