When you combine attributes from legendary Maxxis treads like the Minion DHR II, High Roller, and Shorty, you get the Assegai, the new signature tire from the mind of Greg Minnaar! The Assegai is designed to offer exceptional performance on a variety of terrain, from loose to hard-packed, and even in wet conditions.

The Assegai's tall knobs are engineered to punch through dust and loam, providing reliable traction, while also offering support and confidence on wet roots and rocks. This tire is the result of World Cup Champion Greg Minnaar's input and expertise, ensuring that it delivers the performance that riders demand.

The Assegai is available in a 27.5 x 2.50WT size, with a 60 TPI Folding Dual Compound construction and EXO/TR (Tubeless Ready) technology. The Dual Compound Technology features two different rubber compounds within the tread, offering a balance of lower rolling resistance and increased cornering grip.

The EXO Puncture Protection adds an extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material to the sidewalls, ensuring the tire can withstand the rigors of exceptionally rocky and treacherous trails. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the tire's performance remains unaffected.

Tubeless Ready tires provide riders with several benefits, including the ability to run lower air pressures for improved traction, lower rolling resistance compared to tube-type tires, and a reduced chance of flatting. Liquid sealants should only be used in Tubeless Road, Tubular, and Tubeless Ready tires, as the use of sealants in any other Maxxis tire will void the warranty.

The Wide Trail (WT) construction of the Assegai optimizes the tire's tread layout and profile for today's modern, wider rims. Traditional tires designed around older, narrower rims can create an overly square tire profile, which can lead to less than optimal performance. The Assegai is optimized for a 35mm inner rim width but is proven to work over a range from 30-35mm inner rim widths, depending on the rider's preference.

In summary, the Maxxis Assegai 27.5 x 2.50WT 60 TPI Folding Dual Compound EXO/TR Tire is a top-of-the-line option for riders who demand exceptional performance on a variety of terrain. With its tall knobs, Dual Compound Technology, and EXO Puncture Protection, the Assegai is designed to deliver the confidence and control that riders need on the trails.
