Maxxis Assegai Tire in 29 x 2.6 with 3C MaxxTerra and EXO+ casing is a front-focused 29er mountain bike tire built for aggressive trail, enduro, and downhill riding in mixed conditions. Its tread design bridges the gap between a Minion DHR II and a Shorty, combining confident braking and cornering control with a more manageable rolling feel than full mud spikes. A ramped center tread and a transition knob between center and side lugs help the tire roll smoother and lean predictably, delivering consistent grip when the trail turns to slippery roots and rocks.
3C MaxxTerra compound - Intermediate triple compound tuned for extra trail grip while maintaining strong tread wear and controlled rolling resistance
EXO+ protection - Medium-duty puncture resistance for all-around trail riding and light weight e-bikes without the bulk of full DH casings
Ramped center knobs - Reduces rolling drag on the leading edge while keeping bite under braking and load
Transition knob design - Smooth, predictable handoff from center tread to side knobs for more consistent cornering feel
Front-specific intent - Optimized for steering traction and control where confidence matters most
Greg Minnaar signature spec - Developed as a World Cup-proven tread choice for demanding, high-speed terrain
