 Assegai Tire - 27.5 x 2.60, MaxxTerra, EXO

Maxxis Assegai Tire in 27.5 x 2.60 is a front-focused aggressive trail, enduro, and downhill mountain bike tire built for mixed conditions where cornering confidence matters as much as braking control. Tread knob height sits between the Minion DHR II and Shorty, delivering a balanced feel across hardpack, loose-over-hard, and wet roots and rocks without the vague transition that can show up in more open mud treads.

This version pairs MaxxTerra compound with an EXO casing for riders who want reliable grip and predictable handling, with added sidewall protection for rocky trails and high-speed impacts.

• Mixed-condition tread design - predictable traction over slippery roots and rocks with a supportive, aggressive cornering profile
• Ramped center knobs - reduces rolling resistance compared to a square-edged center tread while keeping strong braking edges for steep descents
• Transition knob between center and side lugs - smoother, more consistent lean-in feel when loading the tire through corners
• MaxxTerra triple compound - balances grip with durability, maintaining controlled rolling resistance and tread wear for long trail and enduro days
• EXO casing sidewall protection - added cut and abrasion resistance while staying relatively lightweight and compliant for traction
• Front tire intent - optimized for steering accuracy and cornering confidence on aggressive trail, enduro, and downhill setups
• Greg Minnaar signature tread - design developed as the signature tire of World Cup Champion Greg Minnaar for high-speed control and consistency
