What do you get when you combine attributes from legendary Maxxis treads like the Minion DHR II, High Roller and Shorty? You get the Assegai – the signature tyre from the mind of downhill legend Greg Minnaar. Tall knobs punch through dust and loam to find traction, while offering support and confidence on wet roots and rocks.
This Downhill version features Maxxis' all-new DH Casing Construction, purpose-built for the demands of modern World Cup downhill racing.
New DH Casing Construction
Progressive casing stiffness keeps the tyre supple over chattery rocks and roots for a planted, damped feel, then delivers increasing sidewall support as cornering and impact forces build. It allows lower pressures (2–3 psi less than the previous-generation DH casing), improving compliance, traction and puncture protection while reducing the risk of a tyre or rim failure.
3C MaxxGrip – uses Maxxis' softest rubber compounds to offer the ultimate in grip and slow-rebound properties for unparalleled traction in downhill applications.
Tubeless Ready – run lower pressures for more traction, enjoy lower rolling resistance than a tube-type tyre, and reduce the chance of flatting. Use only Maxxis-approved sealant; using liquid sealant in a non-tubeless Maxxis tyre will void the warranty.
