Maxxis Assegai is a 27.5” mountain bike tire built for aggressive trail, enduro, and downhill riding where predictable grip matters more than saving watts. In 27.5 x 2.60 sizing with MaxxTerra compound and EXO+ casing, it balances reliable cornering support, controlled braking traction, and durability for mixed conditions—especially on wet roots and rocks.
Dialed for aggressive front-tire control
Mixed-condition tread design - Knob height sits between the Minion DHR II and the Shorty to blend rolling speed with confident bite across loose, hardpack, and variable terrain
Ramped center knobs - Leading-edge ramping helps reduce rolling resistance while keeping dependable braking and climbing edges for real trail speed
Transition knob support - A small knob between center and side tread smooths the lean angle change for more consistent corner entry and mid-corner stability
MaxxTerra triple compound - Updated compound targets longer tread life while maintaining strong grip and controlled rolling resistance for everyday enduro/trail use
EXO+ protection - Medium-duty puncture protection suited to all-around trail riding and lightweight e-bikes, without the weight and ride feel of full DH casings
Intended use: Front installation; recommended for trail, enduro, and downhill riding.
Signature model developed with World Cup Champion Greg Minnaar.
