Tire Maxxis Assegai  27,5×2.50" WT Dual EXO TR

Tire Maxxis Assegai 27.5 × 2.50" WT Dual EXO/TR

The tire of Maxxis Assegai bears the name of the spear used in combat by members of the South African Zulu tribe. Greg Minnaar, a native of South Africa, acknowledged that it was a suitable name for a cloak used to fight on mountain slopes. High protrusions are precisely cut into sand or clay, but at the same time ensure traction on wet roots or stones. While other tires excel on a certain surface, the Assegai allows for really fast driving everywhere.

Wide Trail (WT)

Maxxis tires based on the Wide Trail construction are optimized for modern wide rims (30-35 mm). Thanks to this, the tire worn on a wide rim maintains an optimal round profile without unwanted flattening, and thus offers maximum performance.

• Wide Trail tires for trail, enduro and downhill use are designed for rims with an inner width of 35 mm and are compatible with rims 30-35 mm.
• Wide Trail tires for XC use are designed for rims with an inner width of 30 mm and are compatible with 25-30 mm rims.

Tubeless Ready (TR)

If you plan to ride without tubes and get rid of excess grams and worries about defects, choose tires with the label Tubeless Ready. They use a compound compatible with sealant and have a reinforcement in the sidewall that strengthens the resistance to puncture. They also feature a special tubeless bead that adheres better to the rim. Tubeless jackets can also be used with a tube.

EXO

The sidewalls are reinforced with an extremely abrasion and cut resistant material. At the same time, this dense fabric has no negative effect on the performance of the tire. Choose EXO tires on stony trails, where there is a risk of cutting the sidewall.

Dual

Two types of compound used in the tire tread combine lower rolling resistance with high cornering grip.
