MAXXIS ASSEGAI 29x2.50 WT Exo+ 3C MaxxGrip Tubeless Ready Soft Black tire

Developed and tested in collaboration with Greg Minnaar, the tire MAXXIS Assegai 29x2,50" 3C Maxx Grip Exo+ takes its name from a spear used by the Zulu people of South Africa. It's the perfect weapon for fighting mountains.

It features high studs for great traction and support on dry, damp, rooty or rocky terrain. The 3C Maxx Grip rubber combines three different compounds: one is hard for the base of the studs to ensure rigidity when deforming them and maintain a precise fit; the second is soft for the central studs to optimize their deformation when braking, pedaling and negotiating obstacles; and the last is very soft for the studs on the sidewalls to provide maximum grip when cornering.

In this Tubeless Ready version, which can be fitted with or without an inner tube, this tire is also equipped with an Exo+ carcass that increases puncture resistance by 27% and pinch resistance by 28%, while improving sidewall durability by 51%. Highly resistant to punctures. It combines two proven technologies: the Silkshield textile layer placed from bead to bead, which improves tread strength, and EXO protection, which reinforces the tire's sidewalls. Durable and lightweight, it is positioned between the Exo and the Double Down.
