With 50 years of experience in tire production, MAXXIS has crafted the 'Assegai' after two years of thorough development, creating a tire with the best treads from MAXXIS. Greg Minnaar's 30 years of racing experience significantly contributed to the completion of the 'Assegai'. It features a combination of the treads from 'Minion DHF' and 'Minion DHR 2' in the center, providing optimal grip on wet and slippery surfaces while allowing for aggressive braking. The side knobs idea from the 'Highroller' has been improved with extra knobs, offering perfect traction when taking flat corners. The height of the knobs is borrowed from the 'Shorty', ensuring a strong grip on dry and dusty grounds. The MAXXIS Assegai tire is engineered to meet the demands of the most challenging MTB trails. This robust and expertly designed tire weighs 1225g and has an ETRTO of 63-584, making it suitable for a wide range of terrains.
