Tire Maxxis Assegai 29×2.50" Kevlar 3CG/DH/TR

Maxxis Assegai 29×2.50" Kevlar 3CG/DH/TR Tire

The Maxxis Assegai tire is named after a spear used in combat by the Zulu tribe of South Africa. Greg Minnaar, a South African native, agreed that it was a fitting name for a tire that was used to fight on mountain slopes. The high lugs cut precisely into sand or dirt, but also provide traction on wet roots or rocks. While other tires excel on certain surfaces, the Assegai allows you to ride really fast everywhere.

3C MaxxGrip (3CG)

A soft combination of three compounds for uncompromising grip and unbeatable traction on downhill runs, used by top competitors in the World Cup Downhill or Enduro World Series.

Tubeless Ready (TR)

If you plan to get rid of excess grams and worries about defects, choose tires with the label Tubeless Ready. They use a compound compatible with sealant and have a reinforcement in the sidewall that strengthens the resistance to puncture. They also feature a special tubeless bead that adheres better to the rim. Tubeless tires can also be used with an inner tube.

Downhill (DH)

Two layers of material (60x2 TPI) and a thick butyl bead are used from bead to bead, providing additional rim protection, sidewall stiffness during downhill riding, and puncture protection.
