The Maxxis Assegai 29 Maxx Terra MT/EXO+/TR tire featured here at Escapa offers tenacious and predictable traction across its entire tread pattern, regardless of the angle of incline. The Assegai can be used on both the front and rear for greater stability, or as a front tire paired with a faster-rolling rear tire.
EXO+
EXO+ is Maxxis’s mid-range puncture protection option, ideal for all types of trails and lightweight E-Bikes. It features a durable 60 TPI casing, the legendary EXO puncture-resistant layer on the sidewalls, and a small butyl insert around the Talon. The robust casing and EXO material protect against damage from rocks and roots, while the butyl insert prevents pinch flats and rim damage.
Tubeless-Ready
Tubeless Ready tires offer cyclists numerous advantages: they allow for lower air pressures, which improves traction; they offer lower rolling resistance compared to tubed tires; and they reduce the risk of punctures by eliminating the inner tube. Tubeless Ready tires are marked with the letters “TR” on the sidewall. Tubeless Ready tires must be mounted on rims compatible with this system and require a liquid sealant to maintain pressure. Liquid sealants also help seal small punctures. Be sure to check the sealant regularly and refill it as needed, as it will dry out over time.
