Sometimes big really is better. The promise of more grip and better control are alluring, but impossible to achieve without the right rubber wrapping your wheels. Wider tyres mean more tread on the track, but without the right tread pattern the potential of that extra traction can be lost.
Here at Maxxis we like to stay on the cutting edge of technology. That’s why we invest so much in the research and development of new tread patterns, compounds and constructions to ensure riders that use our tyres get the most out of their time and effort on their bike.

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 and loam to find traction, but also offer support and confidence on wet roots and rocks. While other tyres excel only in certain conditions, the new Maxxis Assegai is built to go fast everywhere.

29 2.50WT 60 Folding 3C MaxxTerra Black EXO+/TR

Technology

Extra Cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls, combination of Silkshield and EXO

Our EXO+ construction combines two of our best puncture protection materials: SilkShield and EXO. The SilkShield 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%; and resistance to pinch flats by 28%.

Tyre Construction

Tubeless Ready tyre

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; and less chance of flatting since there is no tube.

Liquid sealants should only be used in the following types of tyres: Tubeless Road, tubular, and tubeless Ready. The use of liquid sealants in any other Maxxis tyre will void the warranty.

Compound

Provides better tread wear and less rolling resistance than 3C MaxxGrip

An intermediate compiund configuration used in select mountain tyres. 3C MaxxTerra is softer and offers more traction than 3C MaxxSpeed, yet provides better tread wear and less rolling resistance than 3C MaxxGrip.
