MAXXIS Assegai 3C MAXXGRIP/DD Tubeless 29´´ x 2.60 MTB Tyre: The Benchmark for Aggressive Grip
Dominate the most demanding descents and conquer technical terrain with the MAXXIS Assegai 29´´ MTB tyre, the ultimate weapon for uncompromising traction. Developed and proven by UCI Downhill legend Greg Minnaar, the Assegai is engineered to deliver confidence-inspiring performance, allowing you to push your limits on every ride. This tyre is the pinnacle of aggressive tread design, purpose-built for the challenging world of MTB Cycling, from enduro racing to bike park laps.
Greg Minnaar’s signature tire – the Maxxis Assegai – provides tenacious, predictable grip across the entire profile no matter the lean angle. The Assegai can be used front and rear for a surefooted feel or as a front paired with a faster rolling rear tire.
The Assegai´s genius lies in its ability to provide consistent, unwavering grip from the centreline to the shoulder knobs. Its tall, well-supported lugs claw into loose soil, dust, and mud, while also providing a stable and supportive platform on hardpack and rock slabs. This means you can lean the bike into corners with absolute certainty, brake later, and carry more speed through the roughest sections of trail. This specific 2.6 width model offers a high-volume footprint for maximum contact and bump absorption, while its Tubeless Ready design allows you to run lower pressures for even more traction and a supple ride feel.
Built for the rigors of gravity-fueled riding, this version features the robust DoubleDown (DD) casing, which provides downhill-level toughness and sidewall support without the full weight penalty of a dual-ply DH tyre. Paired with the ultra-tacky 3C MaxxGrip compound, it delivers unmatched rebound control and supreme traction on wet roots and slick rocks. The Folding bead not only makes installation easier but also helps to reduce rotational weight. For riders seeking the absolute pinnacle of grip and durability, the MAXXIS Assegai is the undisputed choice.
