Maxxis ASSEGAI tyre 29x2.6 EXO TR folding (black)

The Assegai is named after the traditional spear of South African Zulu chieftains. Greg Minnaar, who helped create it, chose the name because this tyre is ideal for mountain battles. The tall knobs can bite into dusty ground to find the traction needed, but they also provide support and confidence on wet rocks and boulders. While other tyres excel in certain conditions, the new Maxxis Assegai is made for fast riding anywhere.

EXO

EXO is a cut- and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of many Maxxis mountain bike and gravel tyres. This densely woven fabric is lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tyre remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for enhanced durability for gravel, XC, and light-duty trail riding.

Tubeless Ready

Tubeless ready 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 because there is no tube. Tubeless ready tyres are denoted by the letters "TR" on the sidewall.

Tubeless ready tyres must be mounted to tubeless compatible rims and require the use of a liquid sealant to maintain pressure. Liquid sealants have the added benefit of sealing small punctures. Be sure to check your sealant regularly and refresh as needed as it will dry out over time.

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.
