Maxxis Assegai Tire 29 x 2.5, Tubeless, Fold Black, 3C MaxxGrip ECO+ Wide Trail

Maxxis Assegai Tire 29 x 2.5, Tubeless, Fold Black, 3C Maxx Grip ECO+ Wide Trail

World Cup Champion Greg Minnaar's signature tire.

Greg Minnaar’s signature tire – the Maxxis Assegai – provides tenacious, predictable grip across the entire profile no matter the lean angle. The Assegai can be used front and rear for a surefooted feel or as a front paired with a faster rolling rear tire.

• Dual compound, 3C MaxxTerra
• 60 TPI, DoubleDown (2×120 TPI), or Downhill (2×60 TPI) casing options
• EXO or EXO+ puncture protection options
• Wide Trail (WT) sizes are optimized for 35mm inner width rims

3C MaxxTerra:
- An intermediate compound configuration used in select mountain tires. 3C MaxxTerra is softer and offers more traction than 3C MaxxSpeed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than MaxxGrip.

EXO+:
- EXO+ is Maxxis’ medium-duty puncture protection option suitable for all-around trail riding and light weight e-bikes. We begin with a durable 60 TPI casing, add in our legendary EXO puncture protection layer in the sidewalls, and top it off with a small butyl insert around the bead. The tough casing and EXO material ward off damage from rocks and roots, while the butyl insert protects the tire from pinch flats and helps prevent rim damage.

Tubeless Ready:
- Tubeless tires provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tire; and less chance of flatting because there is no tube. Liquid sealants should only be used in the following types of tires: tubeless road, tubular, and tubeless ready.

Wide Trail:
- Wide Trail (WT) construction optimizes the tire’s tread layout and profile on today’s modern, wider rims. Traditional tires are designed around older, narrower rims and can create an overly square tire profile, leading to less than optimal performance. WT tires are optimized for a 35mm inner rim width but are proven to work over a range from 30-35mm inner rim widths, depending on the rider’s preference.
