Maxxis Assegai EXO+ 63-622 - WT

Maxxis Assegai EXO+ 63-622 - WT

The Assegai is the ultimate downhill tire, co-developed by former downhill world champion Greg Minnaar.

• He has incorporated all of his many years of racing experience into it. The basic idea behind it was to get the best out of the already known Maxxis profiles. The smooth-running studs from the Minion DHF and Minion DHR II have been implemented in the middle of the tread. This gives excellent rolling on hard surfaces, but also grip on wet roots and stones. The slightly reshaped side studs of the HighRoller take care of fast corners. With these, you have a clearly defined limit range and enough reserves at all times. Finally, the Shorty adds its profile height and ensures sufficient traction even on deep forest floors. With this intelligent mix, you can really let it rip.

Wide Trail Casing (WT)

This special carcass construction optimizes the profile layout and the tire shape on today's modern, wider rims. Traditional tires are developed for narrow rims and have a shape that is too square on wide rims, resulting in less than optimal performance.

WT tires are optimized for an inner rim width of 35 mm, but work excellently on all rims with an inner dimension between 30 and 40 mm.

Tubeless Ready (TR)

Tubeless tires have many advantages: You can ride with less air pressure. This gives you better traction and reduces rolling resistance. And where there is no tube, the risk of punctures is also reduced. MAXXIS TR tires are better prepared for installation with sealant than other "Tubeless Ready" tires. The bead of our TR tires is completely covered with a layer of rubber, just like a real UST tubeless tire. This means that tubeless installation is successful on all rims with standard dimensions after the first inflation and with little liquid. "Normal" MAXXIS MTB tires can also be installed tubeless with sealant, like tires from other manufacturers, because the carcass fabric is very dense. However, only the new MAXXIS TR models are officially approved for tubeless installation and guaranteed by MAXXIS. Tubeless installation of other models is at your own risk.

Note: We strongly advise against using sealant that contains ammonia. Ammonia has been proven to attack the carcass and, depending on the amount used, can weaken it by up to 30% after just a few months.

EXO+ Protection

The improved EXO+ carcass is based on a robust 60TPI carcass, which is covered with abrasion-resistant rubber. In addition, the tire sidewalls have a reinforced and rubberized EXO puncture protection layer, while a short butyl insert is inserted above the tire bead. Tires with EXO+ protection are designed for aggressive trail riding and enduro racing and are ideally suited to the higher torque and weight that occur with E-MTBs.

3C MaxxGrip

The well-known 3C downhill compound, which many of the best downhillers have trusted for years, is now called 3C MaxxGrip. 3C MaxxGrip offers the ultimate grip and the best damping properties for incomparable traction on downhills thanks to three different rubber compounds. The base layer ensures low rolling resistance and stability of the tread lugs. The compound in the middle of the tread ensures the best grip on any surface, while the extremely dampened compound on the shoulder lugs ensures the best possible cornering grip.
