The Maxxis Assegai 29 WT 3CG/DD/TR Foldable Tire is an Enduro/Downhill tire named after the iron-tipped spear used by the Zulus of South Africa. Developed by legendary downhill racer Greg Minaar, this tire is designed to perform at its best in any situation: its tall knobs ensure traction on any terrain and provide excellent support over roots and wet rocks. The Maxxis Assegai 29 WT 3CG/DD/TR Foldable tire utilizes Wide Trail technology to optimize performance with wide rims, the Maxx Grip triple compound for maximum grip and low rebound, and the reinforced Double Down casing.
Technologies:
3C Maxx Grip
The new name for the 3C downhill compound, which provides maximum confidence on the wildest descents. 3C Maxx Grip offers the ultimate in grip and low rebound—unmatched traction in DH.
WT Wide Trail
Optimizes the tread pattern and tire profile for modern, wider rims. WT tires are optimized for an inner rim width of 35 mm, but have been proven to perform across a range of inner rim widths from 30–35 mm, depending on the rider’s preference
Double Down
DoubleDown (DD) is the next step in the evolution of double-ply construction for Enduro tires. Two layers of 120 TPI casing reinforced with a butyl insert provide support and protection for downhill riding, but in a lighter design.
TR Tubeless Ready
Tubeless-ready tires offer many benefits over conventional tires: the ability to run at lower pressures for improved traction; lower rolling resistance compared to a tubular tire; and a reduced risk of punctures since there is no inner tube. Maxxis Tubeless Ready (TR) tires provide the benefits of a LUST tire without compromising on weight.
