About this product
This Maxxis Assegai mountain bike tire is designed for 29-inch wheels with a 2.5-inch WT (Wide Trail) width. It's a tubeless-ready (TR) folding tire featuring EXO protection, making it suitable for downhill, dirt jumper, and general mountain biking. The tire comes in black and is manufactured in Taiwan.
Our take
The Maxxis Assegai is a fantastic choice for riders who tackle challenging mountain bike terrain. The 29x2.5-inch WT size provides a substantial footprint for grip and stability, and being tubeless-ready with EXO protection means you get reliable puncture resistance without tubes. The folding bead is a nice touch, making it easier to install and often lighter than wire bead tires. While it's great for aggressive riding, this robust tire might feel a bit heavy and slow for more casual cross-country or gravel routes due to its size and durable construction. It's a single tire, so consider ordering two for a complete set.
