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 MaxxTerra is an intermediate triple compound that provides additional grip but still retains excellent tread wear and rolling resistance qualities
- EXO+ provides medium-duty puncture protection option suitable for all-around trail riding and light weight e-bikes
- Wide Trail (WT) construction optimizes the tire’s tread layout and profile on today’s modern, wider rims, optimized around a 35mm inner width
- World Cup Champion Greg Minnaar's signature tire
