The Maxxis Assegai tire is named after a Zulu spear, reflecting its South African roots. Designed by Greg Minnaar, it excels on various terrains, offering excellent traction on dusty, wet, and rocky paths. Unlike specialized tires, the Assegai performs well across diverse conditions for speed and agility.
[ 3C MaxxTerra ] Maxxis' 3C tires use a firm base rubber to reduce rolling resistance and progressively softer rubber on outer layers to optimize traction. 3C MaxxTerra is an intermediate triple compound suitable for all-around trail riding.
[ EXO+ ] A material, resistant to cuts and abrasions, incorporated into the sidewalls of various gravel and MTB tires, plus the addition of a rubber material encircling the bead to prevent pinch flats and protect rims. Ideal for diverse riding applications, spanning from gravel to XC to light trail usage.
[ TUBELESS READY ] Tubeless tires offer advantages like lower pressure for better grip, reduced rolling resistance, and flat prevention. Tubes can still be used in tubeless tires, too!
