As well as tinkering in bike development, he’s ridden, raced and documented mountain biking non-stop for two decades, and is one of only a handful of bike testers experienced enough to have hundreds of reviews in print and on the web. The new single-ply casing has a thicker (60 TPI) fabric weave and, more like a Double Down, a butyl wedge above the bead to resist snakebites and bolster the sidewall. New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging . Fast rolling, super grippy on wet rocks and roots, and ready to offer you the upmost in support and confidence when needed. Given the name Assegai by South African downhill world cup champion Greg Minnaar who wanted to design a tyre that combined the best properties of some of Maxxis' most iconic tread patterns, the DHF, DHR II, Shorty and High Roller.

It feels well-damped, calm and super-stable, with no sense of nervousness or wanting to tip side to side, and whether in loose soil or hardpack, dust or grease, the MaxxGrip rubber blend here is as tenacious as anything else I’ve tried. The tough casing and EXO material ward off damage from rocks and roots, while the butyl insert protects the tire from pinch flats and helps prevent rim damage. The result is a tyre that can find grip on a wide variety of surfaces while also boasting aggressive braking and fast rolling.Tubeless ready tires must be mounted to tubeless compatible rims and require the use of a liquid sealant to maintain pressure.

What do you get when you combine attributes from legendary Maxxis treads like the Minion DHR II, High Roller, and Shorty? Liquid sealants should only be used in the following types of tires: tubeless road, tubular, and tubeless ready.

We also do not accept products that are intimate or sanitary goods, hazardous materials, or flammable liquids or gases. WT tyres are optimised for an inner rim width of 35 mm, but work excellently on all rims with an inner dimension between 30 and 39 mm. wide trail (wt) construction optimizes the tyre's tread layout and profile on today's modern, wider rims. Ideal as a front tyre, with something a bit more playful in the back, or front and back for that racer point-and-shoot style.

Tubeless tyres provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tire; and less chance of flatting since there is no tube. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tyre remains unaffected.The butyl insert helps prevent pinch flats, protects the rim from impacts, and provides additional sidewall stability.
