Maxxis Assegai 3C Exo TR Folding MTB Tyre - 29"
The Maxxis Assegai tyre is named after the iron-tipped spear used by the Zulu people of South Africa. 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 Maxxis Assegai is built to go fast everywhere

Technology


  • EXO: 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.
  • Tubeless Ready: Tubeless 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. Maxxis Tubeless Ready (TR) tyres provide the benefits of a UST tubeless tyre without the weight penalty. Our TR tyres use a standard casing and require the use of a liquid sealant in order to make them airtight. Maxxis Tubeless Ready tyres are the only Maxxis tyres approved for use with liquid sealants. Using a liquid sealant in any non-TR Maxxis tyre will void the warranty.

    I am very wary of tubeless / tubeless compatible tyres now. I bought some similarly sized ones recently and they were a nightmare to install on three different wheels (I run with tubes). I found out in retrospect that tubeless tyres by their nature have to be tighter to avoid leaks. (edited)

    Why is this a bargain when it costs more than my car tyres ? - and that's fitted!

    I know what you mean mate. This is more expensive than a Tesco meal deal and I can't even eat it... 🤦‍♂️

    Odd that I slashed the sidewall on one of the these last night (my own fault) so have been looking for one but picked up a dhf from bird bikes as they have a load of cheap maxxis tyres.
