World Cup Champion Greg Minnaar's signature tyre.

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.

Key Features:

EXO+ Protection:
- EXO+ construction combines two of Maxxis 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%.

Tubeless Ready:
- Tubeless 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.

Wide Trail:
- Wide Trail (WT) construction optimizes the tyre's tread layout and profile on today's modern, wider rims. WT tyres are optimized for a 35mm inner rim width but are proven to work over a range from 30-35mm inner rim widths
