Please note - we can only supply these tires at the time of purchase of a HUNT wheelset. We cannot supply them separately.
World Cup Champion Greg Minnaar's signature tire.
The Maxxis Assegai tire 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 tire 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 tires excel only in certain conditions, the new Maxxis Assegai is built to go fast everywhere.
• 3C Maxx Terra compound
• 120 TPI
• EXO+ Protection
• Tubeless Ready
• Folding bead
• 1050 grams (27.5 x 2.50")
Key Features:
3C MaxxTerra:- An intermediate compound configuration used in select mountain tires. 3C MaxxTerra is softer and offers more traction than 3C MaxxSpeed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than MaxxGrip.
EXO:
- An extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of select mountain tires. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tire remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for exceptionally rocky, treacherous trails where the chance of sidewall cuts and abrasions is high.
Tubeless Ready:
- Tubeless tires 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 tire; and less chance of flatting since there is no tube.
Wide Trail:
- Wide Trail (WT) construction optimizes the tire's tread layout and profile on today's modern, wider rims. WT tires are optimized for a 35mm inner rim width but are proven to work over a range from 30-35mm inner rim widths
