Maxxis Assegai 27.5x2.50" WT 3C MaxxGrip DoubleDown tire, TR, kevlar
Maxxis Assegai 27.5x2.50" WT 3C MaxxGrip DD tire
A new tire called Assegai. Even Greg Minnaar, three-time world champion, three-time overall world cup winner and legend of this sport, collaborated on the development of the new pattern. "My idea was to design a tire that reflects the iconic designs of the Maxxis brand," says Greg Minnaar. "I started in the middle of the sample with a combination of Minion DHF and Minion DHR II. The reason was that the DHF rolls well and gives confidence on hard ground, corners, wet roots and stones. The DHR II added speed and aggressiveness when braking. Later, I added extra teeth to get a better wheel expression under load and a consistent feel all the way to the side lugs. I can't even forget my favourite tire - the High Roller. Together with the experts at Maxxis, we created redesigned side thread that have very similar characteristics to the original. But with the new support, they are also excellent when turning on flat ground. Finally, I took the tread height from the Shorty. As the threads are well supported, the additional height can bite into the ground in dry and dusty conditions."
Double Down (DD) - lighter version of the butyl reinforcement, which, in combination with cord with fibre density of 120 TPI, provides optimal properties for enduro/trail tires
|
3C MaxxGrip provides the best traction on wet, steep roads with rocks and roots. However, with greater rolling resistance, climbs and flat sections will be more exhausting
|
WIDE TRAIL (WT) - the shape of the tire is optimized for use on rims with an internal width of 30 - 35 mm
|
TR - Tubeless ready tire is adapted for tubeless operation

PSI - indicates the pressure to which the manufacturer recommends inflating the tire. 1 atmosphere = 14.7 PSI
TPI (EPI) - the density of the tire's skeleton fibres. The higher the TPI value, the more flexible the tire will be.
Kevlar tire - foot made of Kevlar fibres. The tire can be folded, so it is more practical when moving or storing. It is characterized by a lower weight compared to wire casings and a higher resistance to puncture.
Wire tire - bead made of wire. The tire is inflexible, it is heavier than Kevlar.
