About this product
The MAXXIS ASSEGAI mountain bike tire is designed for 29-inch wheels, featuring a 2.5-inch WT (Wide Trail) width and a robust 120TPI casing. This specific offering includes two tires, built with 3C MaxxGrip compound and DoubleDown (DD) casing for enhanced durability. It's a tubeless-ready tire, suitable for downhill, dirt jumper, and general mountain biking applications, manufactured in Taiwan.
Our take
These Maxxis Assegai tires are clearly built for serious mountain biking, especially given the inclusion of two tires. The 3C MaxxGrip compound suggests excellent traction, which is crucial for technical downhill and dirt jumping. The DoubleDown casing indicates they're very robust, ready to handle aggressive riding without concern for punctures. Being tubeless-ready is a big plus for performance and reduced pinch flats. However, the 2.5-inch WT might be overkill for less aggressive trail riding, potentially adding rolling resistance, and the 120TPI might not be as supple as higher TPI options for certain riders, although it balances durability well.
