MAXXIS Assegai 29 x 2.50 WT Dual Compound TR EXO

Description
The Assegai is the ultimate downhill / all-mountain tire co-designed with former downhill world champion Greg Minnaar. Its tread design combines proven elements (from Minion DHF & DHR II) for excellent rolling speed on hard surfaces, plus grip on wet roots and rocky terrain. Enlarged and reshaped side knobs (inspired by the HighRoller) provide strong cornering support, while tall profile knobs (like the Shorty) boost traction in loose, forested conditions.
