Greg Minnaar, a native of South Africa, thought it was a fitting name for a tyre ready to do battle on the mountain. The tall knobs punch through dust and loam to find traction, but also offer support and confidence on wet roots and rocks. While other tyres excel only in certain conditions, the new Maxxis Assegai is built to go fast everywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e  EXO Protection, an extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of select mountain tyres. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tyre remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for exceptionally rocky treacherous trails where the chance of sidewall cuts and abrasions is high.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e  TYRE CONSTRUCTION - Tubeless Ready (TR) tyres provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tyre; and less chance of flatting since there is no tube.\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e   \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e  Liquid sealants should only be used in the following types of tyres: Tubeless Road, tubular, and tubeless Ready. The use of liquid sealants in any other Maxxis tyre will void the warranty.\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e   \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e  COMPOUND - Provides better tread wear and less rolling resistance than 3C MaxxGrip\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e   \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e  An intermediate compound configuration used in select mountain tyres. 3C MaxxTerra is softer and offers more traction than 3C MaxxSpeed, yet provides better tread wear and less rolling resistance than 3C MaxxGrip.\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003e  The Story\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e  \"My idea was to design a tyre around some of Maxxis’ iconic tread patterns. I started in the center by combining the Minion DHF and the Minion DHR II. The reasoning behind this was I felt the surface area of the DHF rolls well and gives you a good footprint on hardpack, greasy turns as well as confidence on wet roots and rocks. The DHR II added faster rolling speed and more aggressive braking.\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e   \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e  Then I worked on the ‘extra’ tooth to give you more support when leaning the bike over so there’s a consistent feel all the way onto the side knobs. And that leaves me talking about my all-time favorite tyre -- the High Roller. Maxxis engineers and I came up with a remodeled High Roller side knob with very similar characteristics to the original. But with the support the extra tooth gives you, you have the ultimate wingman when cutting hard on a flat turn.\" \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e   \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e  - Greg Minaar\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Maxxis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52881712906579,"sku":"MXX-1120-ASG-275-250-MXT","price":46.7,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/3071\/5987\/files\/MXX_1120_ASG_275_250_MXT_0_dca6.jpg?v=1769355814","url":"https:\/\/www.skatehut.com\/products\/maxxis-assegai-27-5-x-2-50-wt-foldable-3c-maxxterra-exoplus-tr-tyre-black","provider":"SkateHut.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
