Maxxis Assegai 29x2.50 WT 3C MaxxGrip EXO+ TR E25 Folding MTB Tyre

Greg Minnaar's Signature Tyre — Trail-Weight Grip for All Conditions

The Maxxis Assegai delivers tenacious, predictable grip across the entire tyre profile no matter the lean angle — and this EXO+ version brings that same World Cup-proven tread pattern to trail and all-mountain riders who want the ultimate in grip without the weight penalty of a dual-ply casing.

The EXO+ casing combines SilkShield bead-to-bead protection with an EXO sidewall layer, improving tread puncture protection by 27%, sidewall durability by 51%, and resistance to pinch flats by 28% over standard EXO. Paired with 3C MaxxGrip — the stickiest compound in the Maxxis lineup — this is the Assegai for riders who want maximum grip in a lighter, more nimble package. E25 certified for e-bikes up to 25 km/h.
