Maxxis Assegai Tire
The Maxxis Assegai is Greg Minnaar’s signature tire and a benchmark in aggressive trail, enduro, and downhill performance. Designed with a consistent, confidence-inspiring feel across its entire tread profile, the Assegai delivers tenacious grip at any lean angle, whether the rider is charging steep descents, navigating loose corners, or holding speed through technical terrain. Its tall, well-supported knobs are engineered to dig into a wide range of conditions, providing reliable braking traction and predictable cornering behavior when the trail gets demanding.
Built for versatility within gravity-focused riding, the Assegai can be used front and rear for maximum security, or more commonly paired as a front tire with a faster-rolling rear option to balance grip and efficiency. While it is capable in both positions, it truly excels when installed on the front wheel, where its precise steering response and high levels of cornering support give riders the confidence to push harder in varied terrain.
The Assegai is offered in multiple rubber compound options to suit different trail conditions. Dual compound construction is optimized for dry, hard-packed terrain where rolling speed and durability are priorities. 3C MaxxTerra provides a balanced feel for mixed conditions, blending grip, wear resistance, and rolling efficiency. For the most demanding environments, 3C MaxxGrip delivers maximum traction in soft, wet, or loose conditions, prioritizing control and adherence over speed.
A wide range of casing options allows riders to tailor durability and support to their riding style. The 60 TPI casing with EXO protection is ideal for general trail use, offering a lightweight feel with added sidewall resistance. EXO+ increases protection for more aggressive trail and light enduro riding. DoubleDown construction is designed for enduro racing and heavy-duty abuse, providing enhanced support and durability. For downhill and gravity riding, the Downhill casing delivers maximum reinforcement and stability under high speeds and impacts.
2.50-inch size options are optimized for rims with an internal width of 30mm to 35mm, ensuring proper tire profile and performance. Tubeless Ready models are designated with TR in specification tables, allowing for lower pressures and improved traction without the risk of pinch flats. Classified for trail, enduro, and downhill use, the Assegai is built to handle a wide spectrum of aggressive riding conditions with consistent, dependable performance.
Recommended installation is on the front wheel for optimal handling precision and cornering confidence.
