Maxxis Assegai Tire Review
I've had the Maxxis Assegai on my bike for the past year, this is a seriously good tire!
Maxxis Assegai 29×2.50WT 3C MAXX GRIP 3CG/TR/DD
Let’s get in to that alphabet soup, I bought a tire right? You might notice when looking at Maxxis tires that there are several letter options for most tires. Spending a little time to understand these abbreviations can help you optimize a tire for your personal riding application. Today I am focusing on the Maxxis Assegai but a most of these tread/sidewall options are the same for all Maxxis tires
TPI – threads per inch
Now we are getting into the good stuff. For Maxxis tires TPI ratings are the threads-per-inch of a single casing ply. The lower the TPI number the more resistant to puncture the tire will be. the Higher the TPI number the tire will conform to terrain better. Maxxis also says it will be a smoother ride but when I’m buying a tire my primary concerns are; not getting flats and grip!
For the Maxxis Assegai you have 2 TPI options 60 and 120. 3 separate puncture technology options and 2 tread compound options. I’ll address all these below. for more, watch the full video or visit my blog!
