MAXXIS tire Assegai 27.5 | 650B x 2.50 WT DualCompound TR EXO
The Assegai is the ultimate downhill tire, co-developed by former downhill world champion Greg Minnaar. He has incorporated all his many years of experience in racing. The basic idea behind it was to get the best out of already known Maxxis profiles.
The good-running lugs from the Minion DHF and Minion DHR II were implemented in the center of the tread, providing excellent rolling on hard surfaces as well as grip on wet roots and stones. Slightly reshaped side lugs of the HighRoller take care of fast corners. These give you a clearly defined limit range and sufficient reserves at all times. Finally, the Shorty adds its tread height and ensures sufficient traction even on deep forest floors. With this intelligent mix, you can really let it rip.
Wide Trail Casing (WT)
This special carcass construction optimizes the tread layout and tire shape on today's wider rims. Traditional tires are developed for narrow rims and have too angular a shape on wide rims, resulting in less than optimal performance.
WT tires are optimized for an inner rim width of 35 mm, but work excellently on all rims with an inner dimension between 30 and 40 mm.
Tubeless Ready (TR)
Tubeless tires have many advantages: You can ride with less air pressure. This gives you better traction and reduces rolling resistance. And where there is no inner tube, the risk of punctures is also reduced. MAXXIS TR tires are better prepared for mounting with sealing milk than other "tubeless ready" tires. The bead of our TR tires is completely covered with a layer of rubber, just like a real UST tubeless tire. This means that tubeless mounting is successful on all rims with standard dimensions right from the first inflation and with little liquid.
Like tires from other manufacturers, "normal" MAXXIS MTB tires can also be mounted tubeless with sealant, as the carcass fabric is very tight.
However, only the new MAXXIS TR models are officially approved for tubeless mounting and guaranteed by MAXXIS. Tubeless mounting of other models is at your own risk.
Note: We strongly advise against the use of sealant containing ammonia. Ammonia has been proven to attack the carcass and can weaken it by up to 30% after just a few months, depending on the amount used.
EXO sidewall protection
This extremely cut- and abrasion-resistant material protects the sidewall of various MTB tires. It is very densely woven, lightweight and very flexible. As a result, the performance of the tires remains convincingly good.
Dual Compound
Two different rubber compounds are processed into one tread strip. The arrangement of the compounds is adapted to the desired properties of the tires.
