Maxxis 29x2.5 TB00097400 (TB00097400)

Greg Minnaar's signature tyre.. The Maxxis Assegai tyre is named after the iron-tipped spear used by the Zulu people of South Africa. Greg Minnaar, a native of South Africa, thought it was a fitting name for a tyre ready to do battle on the mountain.The tall knobs punch through dust and loam to find traction, but also offer support and confidence o... moren wet roots and rocks. While other tyres excel only in certain conditions, the Maxxis Assegai is built to go fast everywhere.Key Features:Wide Trail casing optimized for 30-35mm wide rimsMaxxis’ legendary 3C MaxxGrip rubber compoundDual-ply casing with butyl sidewall inserts for stability and durabilityTubeless compatibilityFolding beadSpecification:Conditions: Loose Over Hard, Loose, Medium, WetCornering Control: 1 2 3 4Rolling Efficiency: 1 2 3 4TPI: 120Bead: FoldablePly Construction: DualCompound: 3C Maxx GripMax PSI: 50Tech: 3C MaxxGrip, Tubeless Ready3C Maxx Grip: A new name for the downhill 3C compound configuration that you have come to know and trust. 3C Maxx Grip offers the ultimate in grip and slow rebound properties for unparalleled traction in downhill applications.Tubeless Ready: Tubeless 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 since there is no tube. Maxxis Tubeless Ready (TR) tyres provide the benefits of a UST tubeless tyre without the weight penalty. Our TR tyres use a standard casing and require the use of a liquid sealant in order to make them airtight. Maxxis Tubeless Ready tyres are the only Maxxis tyres approved for use with liquid sealants. Using a liquid sealant in any non-TR Maxxis tyre will void the warranty.Double Down: With dual-ply 120 TPI casing and a butyl insert, Maxxis' Double-Down technology is ideal for enduro-style rides.

Greg Minnaar's signature tire - the Maxxis Assegai - provides tenacious, predictable grip across the entire profile no matter the lean angle.The Assegai can be used front and rear for a surefooted feel or as a front paired with a faster rolling rear tire.Specifications:Dual compound, 3C MaxxTerra, or 3C MaxxGrip options60 TPI, DoubleDown (2x120 TPI... more), or Downhill (2x60 TPI) casing optionsEXO or EXO+ puncture protection optionsWide Trail (WT) sizes are optimized for 35 mm inner width rimsCategory: Trail, Enduro, DownhillRecommended use: All trail, enduro, and downhill conditionsRecommended installation: Front or RearTechnologies:3C MaxxTerra: An intermediate compound configuration used in select mountain tires. 3C MaxxTerra is softer and offers more traction than 3C MaxxSpeed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than MaxxGrip.3C MaxxGrip: Maxxis’ 3C MaxxGrip compound uses the stickiest, slowest rebounding rubber we offer in a mountain bike tire. This high traction compound is the same one used by our top World Cup Downhill and Enduro World Series athletes and is now available in a variety of casing configurations to cover all riders.EXO: A cut and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of many Maxxis mountain bike and gravel tires. This densely woven fabric is lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tire remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for enhanced durability for gravel, XC, and light-duty trail riding.EXO+: Maxxis’ medium-duty puncture protection option suitable for all-around trail riding and light weight e-bikes. We begin with a durable 60 TPI casing, add in our legendary EXO puncture protection layer in the sidewalls, and top it off with a small butyl insert around the bead. The tough casing and EXO material ward off damage from rocks and roots, while the butyl insert protects the tire from pinch flats and helps prevent rim damage.DoubleDown: Casing solution for enduro racing and e-bike use. Two layers of our lightweight 120 TPI casing material are combined with a butyl sidewall insert to create a highly durable tire with more trail feedback than a Downhill casing tire. DoubleDown tires are marginally lighter than their Downhill counterparts, but it’s really the difference in “trail feel” that sets the two apart. Some riders may prefer the highly damped ride provided by a Downhill casing tire.Tubeless ready: Tubeless ready tires 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 tire; and less chance of flatting because there is no tube. Tubeless ready tires are denoted by the letters “TR” on the sidewall, 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
