Maxxis Assegai 3C MaxxTerra/EXO TR 29" Tire

MAXXIS ASSEGAI 3C MAXXTERRA/EXO TR 29" TIRE

The Ardent Race Tire is an updated version of the classic Ardent that not only receives the 29er size, it is also given a lighter and faster tread for maximum speed and cornering on hard-packed XC trails. While the tread pattern retains the same configuration as the original Ardent, Maxxis removed some of the depth from the knobs while also condensing the entire pattern. Shoulder knobs combined with ramped central knobs create a tire that rolls fast and holds its grip in the corners. This makes for a tire ideal for hardpack and gravely conditions. The casing is sewn with 120 threads-per-inch, which means a more flexible tire than many 60 or even 90TPI casings. It is also a TR Tubeless-Ready casing. The compound of the treads is the Maxxis Triple-C Maxx Speed, a blend of three rubber densities that are arranged across the 2.2-inch-wide tires in the areas where they perform best.

FEATURES:

• Tall knobs punch through dust and loam to find traction, but also offer support and confidence on wet roots and rocks
• 3C MaxxTerra: intermediate compound configuration used in select mountain tyres. 3C Maxx Terra is softer and offers more traction than 3C Maxx Speed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than Maxx Grip
• EXO: additional densely woven, lightweight, flexible fabric added to casing for enhanced puncture protection
