The Maxxis Assegai tyre is named after the iron-tipped spear used by the Zulu people of South Africa. Greg Minnaar a native of South Africa thought it was a fitting name for a tyre ready to do battle on the mountain. The tall knobs punch through dust & loam to find traction but also offer support & confidence on wet roots & rocks. While other tyres excel only in certain conditions the new Maxxis Assegai is built to go fast everywhere.

3C Maxx Grip: A new name for the downhill 3C compound configuration that you have come to know & trust. 3C Maxx Grip offers the ultimate in grip & slow rebound properties for unparalleled traction in downhill applications.
Tubeless Ready: Tubeless tyres provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tyre; & less chance of flatting since there is no tube. Maxxis Tubeless Ready (TR) tyres provide the benefits of a UST tubeless tyre without the weight penalty. Our TR tyres use a standard casing & require the use of a liquid sealant in order to make them airtight. Maxxis Tubeless Ready tyres are the only Maxxis tyres approved for use with liquid sealants. Using a liquid sealant in any non-TR Maxxis tyre will void the warranty.
EXO+
Our EXO+ construction combines two of our best puncture protection
Materials: Silk Shield & EXO. The Silk Shield layer runs from bead-to-bead with a layer of EXO along the sidewalls. Combined these two materials create EXO+ which improves tread puncture protection by 27%; sidewall durability by 51%; & resistance to pinch flats by 28%.
