Assegai Tire - 29 x 2.6, 3C MaxxGrip, DD

Maxxis Assegai is a highly supportive front tire choice for aggressive trail, enduro, and downhill riding in mixed conditions, built to deliver predictable cornering and braking traction when the trail turns to roots, rocks, and loose-over-hard. In 29 x 2.6 sizing, its tread design blends fast-rolling ramped center knobs with a carefully placed transition knob to keep steering feel consistent as the bike is leaned over.

• 3C MaxxGrip compound - Uses Maxxis’ stickiest, slowest-rebounding rubber to maximize trail traction and control, especially on slippery surfaces
• DoubleDown (DD) casing - Two layers of lightweight 120 TPI casing material plus a butyl sidewall insert for a durability-focused build with more trail feedback than a full Downhill casing
• Mixed-condition tread height - Knob height sits between the Minion DHR II and Shorty to balance bite, support, and versatility across changing terrain
• Ramped center knobs - Heavily ramped leading edges help reduce rolling resistance without giving up braking and climbing edges
• Cornering transition knob - Bridges the gap between center and side knobs for a smoother, more predictable feel when initiating and holding a turn
• Intended front installation - Designed primarily as a front tire for confident steering and consistent grip at speed
