Maxxis Assegai Tire - 27.5 x 2.5, Tubeless, Folding, Black, 3C MaxxGrip, DD, Wide Trail

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 Maxxis Assegai is built to go fast everywhere. The Assegai can be used both front and rear for a surefooted feel or as a solid front tire combined with a faster-rolling rear tire. Note: Wide Trail (WT) casings are used on all 2.5" models and are optimized for 30 - 35mm inner rim widths.
