Maxxis Assegai – Greg Minnaar’s Signature Tire

Developed in collaboration with downhill legend Greg Minnaar, the Maxxis Assegai is designed to deliver uncompromising traction and control across every section of the trail. Whether railing berms, braking hard into loose switchbacks, or leaning deep into wet roots, the Assegai maintains consistent grip across its full tread profile, giving riders absolute confidence no matter the lean angle.

The tread design blends inspiration from iconic Maxxis patterns – combining the tall, square knobs of the Minion DHF, the supportive lug structure of the DHR II, and the aggressive layout of the Shorty – to create a tire that excels in everything from dusty hardpack to slick mud and wet rock gardens. The result is a tire that rolls with assurance, digs in under braking, and feels predictable even on unpredictable terrain.

To meet the demands of different riding styles and conditions.
