Designed by the legendary Greg Minnaar, the Maxxis Assegai 27.5 3CG/DH/TR/E-50 tire featured here at Escapa offers tenacious and predictable grip across its entire tread pattern, regardless of the angle of incline.
3C MaxxGrip Compound – Maximum Traction, Maximum Control
Maxxis’ 3C MaxxGrip is our most grippy compound with the highest slow-rebound properties, designed to deliver extreme grip in the most demanding conditions. It’s the same compound used by the top Riders in the Downhill World Cup and the Enduro World Series, and it’s now available in multiple casing configurations to suit all types of Riders.
Ideal for those seeking maximum control on technical descents, aggressive corners, and unpredictable terrain.
Downhill (DH) Casing – Maximum Protection for Downhill Riding
As the name suggests, the Maxxis Downhill (DH) casing is designed for the most extreme uses: from downhill racing to bike parks, freeride, and long-distance e-bikes.
Each DH tire is constructed with two layers of 60 TPI casing, providing superior durability. It also features a large butyl rubber insert that extends from the Talon to the sidewalls, offering:
- Protection against pinch flats
- Greater resistance to rim impacts
- Additional sidewall stability
An ideal choice for riders who demand maximum performance and durability on the most aggressive terrain.
Tubeless Ready (TR) Technology – More Traction, Fewer Punctures
Tubeless Ready tires offer multiple advantages for cyclists: They allow for lower tire pressures, improving traction. They reduce rolling resistance compared to tube-type tires. They lower the risk of punctures, since there is no inner tube.
TR tires are marked with the letters “TR” on the sidewall and must be mounted on rims compatible with the Tubeless system. Liquid sealant is required to maintain pressure and also helps seal small punctures while riding.
