Maxxis Assegai is a gravity-focused MTB tire built for riders who want consistent, predictable cornering and braking traction in mixed trail conditions. In 29 x 2.5 with 3C MaxxTerra rubber and EXO+ casing reinforcement, it balances confident grip on roots and rocks with the durability and rolling speed needed for aggressive trail, enduro, and downhill use.
Mixed-condition tread design - Knob height sits between the Minion DHR II and Shorty for a versatile bite that doesn’t feel vague when conditions change
Ramped center knobs - Reduces rolling resistance while maintaining strong braking and climbing edges for technical trail speeds
Transition knob support - A small intermediate knob between center and side tread smooths the lean-over phase, improving control when loading the front tire in corners
3C MaxxTerra triple compound - Intermediate compound tuned for increased grip while preserving tread wear and efficient rolling for long days and repeated park laps
EXO+ protection - Medium-duty puncture and sidewall support for all-around trail riding and lightweight e-MTB use without the weight of full DH casings
Front-tire intent - Designed to be run up front for maximum steering accuracy and predictable traction; recommended for trail, enduro, and downhill
Greg Minnaar signature tire - Developed around the needs of World Cup-level speed and front-end control
