Product Details
UPC: 4717784034492
Brand: Maxxis
Engineered for aggressive gravity riding and downhill performance, this version of the Maxxis Assegai Tire is built to deliver uncompromising traction, control, and predictability when trails turn steep, loose, and technical. Developed with input from World Cup racing and refined as the signature tire of Greg Minnaar, it is designed to inspire confidence across mixed conditions where grip consistency matters more than anything else. The tread pattern bridges the gap between the Minion DHR II and Shorty, offering a balanced blend of braking bite, cornering support, and rolling efficiency without sacrificing downhill capability. Its Wide Trail optimization ensures the casing and tread are tuned specifically for modern wider rims, improving profile stability and edge grip when leaned into corners or pushed hard through rough terrain.
Key Features
- Aggressive downhill-focused tread designed for maximum control in steep, technical terrain
- Predictable cornering profile with a transitional knob design for smooth lean-in behavior
- Heavily ramped center knobs reduce rolling resistance while maintaining braking traction
- Optimized knob height balance between Minion DHR II and Shorty for versatile gravity performance
- Designed for consistent grip over roots, rocks, and mixed loose conditions
- World Cup proven design developed with Greg Minnaar for elite-level downhill racing
- Wide Trail optimized casing geometry for modern rim compatibility and improved tire shape
Highlights
- Delivers high-confidence traction in wet, dry, and mixed terrain conditions
