Equipped with Maxxis' tubeless-ready clincher technology, the Assegai simplifies installation and reduces the risk of flats. Its 60 TPI (threads per inch) casing offers a flexible yet robust sidewall and tread surface, contributing to a smoother ride and reliable puncture protection. The dual compound rubber allows for low rolling resistance on straights and maximum grip during aggressive cornering, making it suitable for trail, enduro, and downhill disciplines.
