Maxxis Assegai 3CT/EXO/TR 29×2.50 WT MTB Tyre: Unrivaled Grip for All-Mountain Domination
Prepare to conquer any trail with the MAXXIS Assegai 3CT/EXO/TR 60 TPI Tubeless 29´´ x 2.50 MTB tyre, the ultimate weapon for aggressive MTB Cycling. Inspired by the iron-tipped spear of the Zulu people, the Assegai was conceived by World Cup legend Greg Minnaar to be the one tyre ready to do battle on the mountain. This is a tyre built without compromise, designed to deliver exceptional performance and unwavering traction across the widest possible spectrum of conditions.
While many tyres excel in specific scenarios, the Assegai is engineered to go fast everywhere. Its design philosophy centers on all-out versatility and confidence. The famously tall and aggressive knobs are expertly shaped to punch through loose dust and soft loam, digging deep to find grip where other tyres falter. At the same time, these knobs provide incredible support and a predictable feel when transitioning onto hardpack, wet roots, and slick rocks. This gives you the confidence to hold your line and push your limits, knowing your front end is locked in. The Assegai eliminates the guesswork, providing a consistent and confidence-inspiring ride no matter what the trail throws at you.
Engineered for modern mountain biking, this 2.5-inch Wide Trail (WT) model is perfectly optimized for today´s wider rims (30-35mm internal width). This creates the ideal tyre profile, maximizing the contact patch for superior braking power and exceptional cornering stability. The Tubeless Ready (TR) design allows you to run lower pressures for even more traction and a smoother ride, all while significantly reducing the risk of pinch flats. Its robust EXO sidewall protection offers an excellent balance of increased puncture and abrasion resistance with a manageable weight, making it perfect for demanding enduro and all-mountain adventures. The durable 60 TPI casing and practical Folding bead complete a package that is as reliable as it is high-performing.
