Maxxis Assegai 3CG/EXO+/TR MTB folding tire 29"x2.50

Maxxis Assegai 3CG/EXO+/TR is a folding tire for 29" mountain bikes with a width of 2.50" and an ETRTO size of 63-622. It is made for technical trails, steep descents, and loose terrain where grip and control matter more than low rolling resistance. The tire uses the 3C MaxxGrip rubber compound, which provides high grip on roots, rocks, mud, and soft forest floor, while braking traction stays consistent as speed increases.

• Dimensions: 29 x 2.50" with ETRTO 63-622, providing a wide contact patch and good support in corners.
• Rubber compound: 3C MaxxGrip provides high mechanical grip and strong braking traction on technical trails.
• Puncture protection: EXO+ reinforces the sidewalls and increases resistance to cuts and pinch flats.
• Tubeless ready: The TR construction makes the tire ready for tubeless setup, with the option of lower tire pressure and better grip.
• Terrain: Especially suited to mud, soft ground, loose forest soil, and other trails with changing grip conditions.
• Folding tire: The foldable casing makes the tire easier to handle during installation and transport.

Assegai is not a tire you choose for low rolling resistance. Rolling resistance is high, and you notice it on long transfer sections and hard surfaces. In return, you get a tire that holds its line better in loose conditions and gives more stability when the trail gets rough. The wide profile and pronounced tread pattern work well together when you lean the bike into corners or brake late into a section.

It is a tire for riders who prioritize grip, support, and protection on demanding trails.
