Maxxis 29x2.5 TB00172500 (TB00172500)

MAXXIS ASSEGAI: The Maxxis Assegai tire is named after a Zulu spear, reflecting its South African roots. Designed by Greg Minnaar, it excels on various terrains, offering excellent traction on dusty, wet, and rocky paths. Unlike specialized tires, the Assegai performs well across diverse conditions for speed and agility. 3C MAXXTERRA: 3C MaxxTerra... more(3CT) mountain bike tires use a firm base rubber to reduce rolling resistance and progressively softer rubber on outer layers to optimize traction. 3C MaxxTerra is an intermediate triple compound suitable for all-around MTB trail riding. EXO+: A material, resistant to cuts and abrasions, incorporated into the sidewalls of various gravel and MTB tires, plus the addition of a rubber material encircling the bead to prevent pinch flats and protect rims. Ideal for diverse riding applications, spanning from gravel to XC to light trail usage. TUBELESS READY: Tubeless tires offer advantages like lower pressure for better grip, reduced rolling resistance, and flat prevention. Tubes may be used in tubeless tires, too. QUALITY GUARANTEE: 1-Year Manufacturer's Warranty

If you asked us several years back what the best tire is for aggressive trail riding and gravity racing, chances are a lot of us would say the Maxxis Minion. But after spending some time on the Assegai Wide Trail 3C/EXO+/TR Tire, we may have just found our new favorite. It's the signature tire of many athletes on the World Cup circuit, and offers p... moreredictable traction on any trail surface. The tall knobs punch through dust and loam to find traction, but provide enough support to maintain confidence over wet rocks and roots without squirming under load. Like the Minion, the center knobs are heavily ramped to help reduce rolling resistance, but the addition of a small knob between the center tread and side knobs provides a smoother transition while cornering. The MaxxGrip tire compound is our top recommendation for riding in damp conditions or on slickrock slabs, while the MaxxTerra compound offers enhanced longevity for bike park laps and dusty conditions.
