Assegai Tire - 29 x 2.6, Tubeless, 3C Terra, EXO

The Assegai tire is designed primarily for downhill racing and aggressive trail riding in mixed conditions. The knob height falls between the Minion DHR II and the Shorty. Like the Minion tires, the center knobs are heavily ramped on the leading edge to reduce rolling resistance. A small knob located between the center tread and side knobs provides a smooth transition while cornering. The Assegai offers predictable traction, even over slippery roots and rocks.

• World Cup Champion Greg Minnaar's signature tire
• Tall knobs punch through dust and loam to find traction, but also offer support and confidence on wet roots and rocks
• WT: Wide trail casing is optimized for 30-35mm inner width rims
• EXO: additional densely woven, lightweight, flexible fabric added to casing for enhanced puncture protection
• TR: tubeless ready
• 3C MaxxTerra: intermediate triple compound, more traction than MaxxSpeed, better tread wear and less rolling resistance than MaxxGrip
