The Maxxis Assegai is Greg Minnaar's World Cup-developed signature tread, combining elements of the Minion DHR II, High Roller and Shorty patterns into a single aggressive trail and enduro tyre. Tall, widely spaced knobs punch through loose dust and loam to find traction while offering support and confidence over wet roots and rock. This 29 x 2.5in tyre is built in Maxxis's dual-ply Downhill casing with a 120x2 TPI construction, butyl insert and 3C MaxxGrip compound, aimed at downhill and dedicated enduro racing where outright grip, sidewall support and rim protection matter more than outright weight.
3C MaxxGrip Compound
Triple-compound construction using Maxxis's softest, stickiest rubber formulation for maximum traction
Slow-rebound properties for grip and control in downhill applications
Best suited to loose, loose-over-hardpack, medium and wet conditions
Downhill Casing
Dual-ply 120x2 TPI construction with a butyl insert for sidewall support and rim protection
Progressive casing stiffness improves compliance over chattery rocks and roots and support under high cornering loads and impacts, Maxxis states
Allows lower pressures than the previous-generation DH casing (Maxxis states 2–3 PSI less), giving a slower tyre rebound, a more planted, damped feel and improved puncture protection
Tubeless Ready Downhill
Sealant-compatible rubber used with the dual-ply 120x2 TPI downhill construction and butyl insert
Tubeless Ready bead locks securely to the rim; folding bead saves weight over a wired-bead downhill tyre
Use tubeless-ready, tubeless road or tubular sealant only — Maxxis states that sealant used in any other tyre type will void the warranty
Sold as a single tyre. The Assegai Downhill pairs Greg Minnaar's World Cup tread with a dual-ply race casing and 3C MaxxGrip compound built for downhill and gravity-focused enduro riding.
