Maxxis Assegai Folding Tyre 29x2.50" WT EXO+ TR 3C MaxxGrip black

After more than two years of development the Maxxis ASSEGAI has finally arrived. Greg Minnaar's Signature tyres are the essence of his 30 years of racing experience and the expertise of Maxxis from over 50 years of tyre production. The Assegai is a combination of the Minion DHF, Minion DHR II and the HighRoller. Thus it was designed from the best Maxxis profiles.

3C MAXX GRIP
The well-known 3C downhill compound that many of the best downhillers have trusted for years is now called 3C MaxxGrip. 3C MaxxGrip offers the ultimate grip and cushioning for unparalleled downhill traction.

EXO+ PROTECTION
The new EXO+ construction combines two of their best puncture protection materials: SilkShield and EXO.
The SilkShield layer surrounds the entire tyre from bead to bead, the EXO layer is mounted on the sidewalls. Together, the EXO+ provides the following benefits: 27% better puncture protection on the tread / 51% more stable sidewall / 28% more puncture protection compared to our proven stable EXO carcass. Tyres with EXO+ Protection are designed for aggressive trailriding and enduro racing, and especially for the higher torque and weight of E-MTBs.

WIDE TRAIL CASING
The Wide Trail (WT) construction optimises the tread layout and shape of the tyre on today's modern wider rims. Traditional tires are designed for narrow rims and get a too square shape on wide rims, resulting in less than optimal performance. WT tires are optimized for an inner rim width of 35 mm, but work excellently on all rims with an inner dimension between 30 and 39 mm. The following MTB tire widths are available in WT construction: 2.40WT / 2.50WT / 2.60WT wide tires have basically a WT construction, but no WT marking on the tire sidewall.
