Maxxis Assegai Bicycle Tires

The Maxxis Assegai is a front mountain bike tire designed for downhill racing and aggressive trail riding in mixed conditions, providing predictable traction over slippery roots, rocks, and technical terrain.

Best for

• Downhill racing and gravity-focused riding.
• Aggressive trail and enduro riding in mixed conditions.
• Riders who prioritize traction and predictable cornering.
• Modern wide rims with a 35mm internal width.

Not ideal for

• Rear-wheel installation, as this tire is intended for front installation.
• Riders prioritizing low rolling resistance over maximum trail traction.
• Riding applications that do not require a downhill-oriented casing.

What this product does

The Assegai uses a tread pattern with knob height between the Minion DHR II and Shorty. Ramped center knobs help reduce rolling resistance, while an intermediate knob provides a smooth transition between the center and side tread when cornering. The 3C MaxxGrip compound uses Maxxis' stickiest, slowest-rebounding rubber to maximize traction, while the Downhill casing provides support for extreme gravity applications.

Compatibility

• Installation: Intended for front-wheel installation.
• Rim compatibility: Wide Trail (WT) construction is optimized for modern wider rims around a 35mm internal width.
• Riding applications: Trail, enduro, downhill, and other gravity-focused riding conditions.

Key benefits

• Predictable traction: Tread design provides consistent grip over slippery roots and rocks.
• 3C MaxxGrip compound: Uses Maxxis' stickiest and slowest-rebounding rubber for increased trail traction.
• Downhill casing: Two layers of durable 60 TPI casing material provide support for extreme gravity applications.
• Butyl rubber insert: Large butyl insert extends from each bead into the sidewall.
• Cornering transition: Intermediate knobs help create a smoother transition from center tread to side knobs.
• Ramped center knobs: Help reduce rolling resistance compared with an unramped tread design.
• Wide Trail construction: Optimizes tread layout and tire profile for modern wider rims.
