Greg Minnaar's Signature Tyre — Now in 27.5" / 650b

The Maxxis Assegai delivers tenacious, predictable grip across the entire tyre profile regardless of lean angle — and this 27.5" version brings that World Cup-proven performance to riders on 650b bikes. Named after the iron-tipped spear of the Zulu people, the Assegai was built to go fast everywhere.

This version features the Downhill (DH) casing — dual 60 TPI layers with a large butyl sidewall insert for the most durable and protective option in the Assegai range. Spec'd with 3C MaxxGrip, the stickiest compound Maxxis makes. E25 certified for e-bikes up to 25 km/h. Whether you're riding Glentress, Nevis Range, or your local trail centre, the Assegai has the grip and casing integrity to back you up.

Key Features

  • 3C MaxxGrip compound — the stickiest, slowest-rebounding rubber Maxxis makes; used by World Cup DH and EWS athletes
  • Downhill (DH) casing — dual 60 TPI layers plus large butyl sidewall insert for maximum protection and rim strike resistance
  • Tubeless Ready (TR) — sealant-compatible for lower pressures, better traction, and reduced puncture risk
  • E25 certified — suitable for e-bikes with pedal assist up to 25 km/h
  • Wide Trail (WT) casing — optimised for modern 30–35mm internal width rims
  • Folding bead — lightweight construction despite the heavy-duty casing
  • Tall knobs punch through loam and dust to find traction on roots and rocks
  • Ramped leading edges on centre knobs reduce rolling resistance on climbs
  • Transition knobs for smooth, progressive lean-angle feel
  • Useable front or rear — ideal as a front tyre or full-commitment rear in wet/loose conditions
