Maxxis Assegai 29 x 2.5 Tubeless MTB Tire - Ultimate Downhill and Trail Performance with Wide Trail Technology
Elevate your downhill riding and aggressive trail adventures with the Maxxis Assegai Tire, engineered for unmatched grip, durability, and performance on demanding terrain. This signature tire, developed in collaboration with World Cup downhill champion Greg Minnaar, combines innovative design and premium materials to deliver exceptional handling in mixed conditions, from rugged rocks to slick roots.
Materials & Construction:
Constructed with a robust 60 TPI casing featuring dual layers for heightened durability and impact resistance. The heavy-duty, tubeless-ready clincher design includes a large butyl rubber insert extending from bead to sidewall, providing reliable flat protection and reducing the risk of punctures during aggressive descents. The wire bead ensures a secure fit on wider rims, optimized for maximum stability and performance.
Performance & Engineering:
Designed specifically for downhill, enduro, and gravity-focused trail riding, the Assegai excels in unpredictable terrain. Its unique knob height positioning-intermediate between Minion DHR II and Shorty-delivers a perfect balance of rolling efficiency and aggressive grip. Ramped center knobs reduce rolling resistance, while side knobs and a smaller transition knob enhance cornering precision and predictable traction on slippery roots and rocks. Optimized TPI (60) layout promotes flexible ride feel and durability for high-impact riding.
Components & Technology:
Featuring Wide Trail (WT) construction, this tire is tailored for modern 35mm inner width rims, enhancing tread profile and sidewall support for wider, more stable contact patches. This technology improves handling in technical terrain, making it ideal for aggressive trail and enduro riders seeking dependable performance. The tubeless setup allows lower PSI for increased traction and comfort, with recommended pressures around 50 PSI for optimal performance.
Style & Use Case:
Sporting a sleek black sidewall, the Maxxis Assegai offers a bold, aggressive look that complements any downhill or enduro bike setup. Its versatile design is exclusively intended for front wheel application, ensuring maximum steering precision and cornering confidence. Whether you're tackling steep descents, rocky technical trails, or fast downhill courses, the Assegai provides the traction and control needed to push your limits.
