Maxxis Assegai Tire - 29 x 2.5 Tubeless Folding BLK 3C MaxxGrip New DH E-25

The Assegai tire is designed primarily for downhill racing and aggressive trail riding in mixed conditions. Its knob height falls between the Minion DHR II and the Shorty. Like the Minion tires, the center knobs are heavily ramped on the leading edge to reduce rolling resistance. A small knob located between the center tread and side knobs provides a smooth transition while cornering.The Assegai offers predictable traction even over slippery roots and rocks. Alternating vertical knobs with deep siping and three horizontal knobs are paired with large corner knobs for improved traction in turns. It combines elements from four of Greg Minnaar's favorite Maxxis tires: the DHR II, DHF, Shorty, and High Roller. The bike park model is an affordable design for use during bike park season without breaking the bank.
