The Assegai tire is designed primarily for downhill racing and aggressive trail riding in mixed conditions. The knob height falls between the Minion DHR II and the Shorty. Like the Minion tires, the center knobs are heavily ramped on the leading edge to reduce rolling resistance. A small knob located between the center tread and side knobs provides a smooth transition while cornering. The Assegai offers predictable traction, even over slippery roots and rocks.

• 3C MaxxGrip compound uses the stickiest, slowest rebounding rubber offered by Maxxis to provide lots of traction on the trail
• Downhill casing tires are designed for extreme use in all gravity applications, made with two layers of durable 60 TPI casing material along with a large butyl rubber insert that extends from each bead into the sidewall
• Wide Trail (WT) construction optimizes the tires tread layout and profile on todays modern, wider rims, optimized around a 35mm inner width
