Assegai Tire

The Assegai tire is designed primarily for downhill racing and aggressive trail riding in mixed conditions. The knob height falls between the Minion DHR II and the Shorty. Like the Minion tires, the center knobs are heavily ramped on the leading edge to reduce rolling resistance. A small knob located between the center tread and side knobs provides a smooth transition while cornering. The Assegai offers predictable traction, even over slippery roots and rocks.

• 3C MaxxGrip compound uses the stickiest, slowest rebounding rubber offered by Maxxis to provide lots of traction on the trail
• DoubleDown (DD) casing features two layers of 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
• Wide Trail (WT) construction optimizes the tire’s tread layout and profile on today’s modern, wider rims, optimized around a 35mm inner width
