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.

Technology
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%.
TYRE CONSTRUCTION
Tubeless Ready (TR) 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.
Liquid sealants should only be used in the following types of tyres: Tubeless Road tubular & tubeless Ready. The use of liquid sealants in any other Maxxis tyre will void the warranty.
COMPOUND
An intermediate compiund configuration used in select mountain tyres. 3C Maxx Terra is softer & offers more traction than 3C Maxx Speed yet provides better tread wear & less rolling resistance than 3C Maxx Grip.
