Maxxis Assegai 27.5x2.50WT 3C MaxxGrip DD TR Tire

The Maxxis Assegai, Greg Minnaar’s signature tire, offers unmatched grip and predictability across all lean angles, making it a versatile choice for both front and rear use. Engineered with the 3C MaxxGrip compound, it delivers top-tier traction with its slow-rebounding, sticky rubber, ideal for downhill and enduro racing. The DoubleDown casing ensures durability with a lightweight, two-layer 120 TPI construction, providing a responsive trail feel. Tubeless ready for lower air pressures and enhanced traction, the Assegai combines performance with reliability for aggressive mountain biking.

• 3C MAXXGRIP: Maxxis’ 3C MaxxGrip compound uses the stickiest, slowest rebounding rubber Maxxis offers in a mountain bike tire. This high traction compound is the same one used by our top World Cup Downhill and Enduro World Series athletes and is now available in a variety of casing configurations to cover all riders.
• DOUBLE DOWN (DD): DoubleDown (DD) is our casing solution for enduro racing and e-bike use. Two layers of our lightweight 120 TPI casing material are combined with a butyl sidewall insert to create a highly durable tire with more trail feedback than a Downhill casing tire. DoubleDown tires are marginally lighter than their Downhill counterparts, but it’s really the difference in “trail feel” that sets the two apart. Some riders may prefer the highly damped ride provided by a Downhill casing tire.
• TUBELESS READY: Tubeless ready tires 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 tire; and less chance of flatting because there is no tube. Tubeless ready tires are denoted by the letters “TR” on the sidewall.
  Tubeless ready tires must be mounted to tubeless compatible rims and require the use of a liquid sealant to maintain pressure. Liquid sealants have the added benefit of sealing small punctures. Be sure to check your sealant regularly and refresh as needed as it will dry out over time.
  Liquid sealants should only be used in the following types of tires: tubeless road, tubular, and tubeless ready. The use of liquid sealants in any other Maxxis tire will void the warranty.
