Excellent grip in rocky terrain.
"Excellent tire. Front mounted, pressure 1. 5 bar. I ride in the south of France on gravel, very good grip and so far resistant. A really reassuring tire. A bit expensive though."

Description
Developed and tested in collaboration with Greg Minnaar, the MAXXIS Assegai 27.5x2.60" 3C tyre MaxxTerra Exo+ takes its name from a spear used by the Zulu people of South Africa. It is therefore the perfect weapon to conquer the mountains.
It features tall knobs providing great traction and good support on dry and wet, rooty or rocky terrain. The 3C Maxx Terra compound combines three different rubber compounds: one is hard for the base of the knobs to ensure good rigidity during deformation and maintain precise handling; the second is soft for the central knobs to optimise their deformation during braking, pedalling and obstacle clearance; and the last is very soft for the knobs on the sidewalls in order to provide maximum grip in corners.
In this Tubeless Ready version that can be mounted with or without an inner tube, this tyre also features an Exo+ casing increasing puncture resistance by 27% and pinch flat resistance by 28% whilst improving sidewall durability by 51%. Offering great resistance against punctures. It combines two proven technologies: the Silkshield textile layer placed from bead to bead which improves the robustness of the tread and the EXO protection reinforcing the tyre sidewalls. Durable and lightweight, it sits between the Exo and Double Down.

Maxxis assegaint tire
"Very good quality good grip when cornering off-road in 2.6 as well as in 2.8 and more maneuverable."
Excellent
"Excellent grip in all conditions but wears out quickly on hard ground".
Top
"The grip is excellent I love this tire except for the price :("
Disappointing solidity
"Not as strong as expected. Pinched sidewall. Impossible to repair plus punctures on tread. All in one go. Yet I think 80kg ... pressure at 1. 8bar plus anti-pinch foam in rim. Reinforcements exo + or rather exo minus . Disappointed On the other hand, it grips".
My favorite tire
"I mounted it on the back of my Rocky Mountain Altitude VAE and I wouldn't change a thing. Exceptional grip, precise terrain feedback and a very solid frame! No pinching in 2 weeks of DH in Tignes inflated to 1. 5bars. I'm going to install the same one up front."
