Greg Minnaar's signature Assegai is the benchmark for front-wheel grip, holding predictably across the whole tread at any lean angle. This 27.5 x 2.60 version in tanwall combines dual compound rubber with EXO sidewall protection on a tubeless-ready foldable bead.

Highlights

• Tenacious, predictable grip across the entire tread profile
• Dual compound balances speed and grip
• EXO sidewalls resist cuts and abrasion
• Tubeless Ready (TR), E25 e-bike rated
• 1,076 g claimed weight

About the Assegai

Maxxis designs the Assegai as a front tyre for all trail, enduro and downhill conditions. Many riders run a pair for a surefooted feel, or match it with a faster-rolling rear such as the Dissector or Minion DHR II. Maxxis optimises its 2.50-inch sizes for 30–35 mm internal rims.

Dual compound rubber and EXO casing

A dual compound tread uses two rubbers to balance rolling resistance and grip. EXO adds a light, flexible, cut- and abrasion-resistant fabric to the sidewalls.

Compatibility & fit

Fits 27.5-inch rims (ETRTO 66-584); Maxxis lists a 25–43 mm internal rim width. Maximum pressure is 40 psi. Check frame and fork clearance for a 2.60-inch tyre. Fitting isn't included; our workshop can mount it and set it up tubeless.
