I´m using it on my Nordest Bardino 2.0 hardtail on the rear, the grip is excellent under any conditions, even more in wet and muddy as is normal here in Ireland. Planning on buying another one for front.” Somehow Maxxis have managed to pull out the best traits of their most popular tires to create something entirely different, yet very familiar at the same time. My initial impressions are all positive – this is an aggressive, grippy, and incredibly predictable tire” –Mike Kazimer, PinkBike.com, April 2018
Who's this for: Riders who prioritise grip above all else, even at the expense of rolling resistance. This is a beefy tyre that will instil confidence on the steepest and roughest of terrain. This tyre has been the best front tyre I have ever used. The intermediate lugs definitely help on the sketchier stuff. Mine hasn’t worn down too much so far despite the soft compound. It’s a seriously good tyre for both bike park and trail riding, though it is obviously a little draggy.” The Assegai is a fantastic tire for use all year round in pretty much any condition you care to name. The only real fly in the ointment is the relatively high price, but then you are buying one of the most controlled and confidence-inspiring tires on the market. Tech Specs: Maxxis Assegai 3C MaxxGrip EXO+ The bottom line is that the Assegai is a true fit and forget tyre for the UK. Whether it is baked hard or soaking wet, you know that you will have plenty of predictable grip. If you are riding uplifts or DH then consider running a pair of Assegai for maximum grip and confidence. In pretty much every circumstance they have been predictable, confidence-inspiring and dependable. The Assegai would be my tyre of choice if I was building a bike and wanted a tyre to run all year in the UK.”–WideOpenMountainBike.com, September 2020Put an Assegai on the front of your bike and then ride all year, in any conditions, on any trails and it will grip for miles and give you maximum confidence. The end. They really are that good. While this tyre may not make you ride quite like Greg Minnaar, it's going to absolutely rip up those downhill runs with more grip than you ever thought possible.
The best front tyre for consistent turn in in most conditions except full clay mud. I have been Dh since 2002 and this is the best front tyre yet. Great in bike park, great on loose DH my go to choice for enduro.” For trail and enduro riding you can’t beat pairing them up with the new Dissector or the classic DHRII on the rear. Like all Maxxis, they are expensive, but you get what you pay for. What does Ben make of the signature tyre of the most successful downhill rider out there? Here’s his two pence on the Maxxis Assegai.Our EXO+ construction combines two of our best puncture protection materials: SilkShield and EXO. The SilkShield layer runs from bead-to-bead with a layer of EXO along the sidewalls. Combined, these two materials create EXO+ which improves tread puncture protection by 27%; sidewall durability by 51%; and resistance to pinch flats by 28%. Tyre Construction
You might look at the tall side knobs and assume that they might fold over under heavy cornering, but this was not the case. They are sturdy enough to support the hardest of riders and have enough depth to really penetrate all but the sloppiest conditions. As you lean in, they really begin to bite and they reward an active rider who can maximise the cornering potential of such an aggressive tyre. Ben has ridden nearly every version of the Maxxis Assegai over the past year. Here is what he has to say about the GOAT’s signature tyre.MXT00017200, MXT00064500, MXT00097400, MXT00097500, MXT00163000, MXT00163100, MXT00163200, MXT00163300, MXT00172400, MXT00195500, MXT00195600, MXT00202400, MXT00202700, MXT00202900, MXT00203100, MXT00308100, MXT00308200 Tubeless Ready (TR) tyres 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 tyre; and less chance of flatting since there is no tube.
Put an Assegai on the front of your bike and then ride all year, in any conditions, on any trails and it will grip for miles and give you maximum confidence. The end. They really are that good. However, if you want a bit more detail, then read on… I just got mine after listening to my friend go on and on about how much he loves his Assegai. He’s had it for a year, and it still has lots of life, and cornering and grip are both significantly improved. In the meantime, I keep wearing through Schwalbe tires. So…I’m switching the DH bike over to Assegai front and rear, and the enduro over to Assegai front and something else rear. Only downside: They’re heavy.” Some of the best aspects of various tyres such as the DHF, DHR 2 and even the original High Roller have been combined to make this monster of a tyre that excels in all areas - other than fast rolling. If you are looking for that then this likely isn't the tyre for you. This is the kind of tyre that is going to do it's best to find grip anywhere! Rim width: Maxxis state that WT tyres only work with 30-35mm rims but many World Cup DH racers run 2.5" WT rubber on 25mm rims (EX 471's) and can blast corners apart without any problems.The initial setup of the Assegai tires was a breeze – the days of wrestling with massive metal tires levers and giving yourself a hernia trying to get a tire to seat are hopefully a thing of the past now that folding bead DH tires are becoming more common. The tires were set up tubeless, and mounted to a set of rims that had an internal width of 31mm, with 19 psi in the front and 20 psi in the rear. MaxxGrip uses the softest rubber compounds to offer the ultimate in grip and slow rebound properties for unparalleled traction in downhill applications• Tubeless Ready Downhill
