The Assegai tire is designed primarily for downhill racing and aggressive trail riding in mixed conditions. The knob height falls between the Minion DHR II and the Shorty. Like the Minion tires, the center knobs are heavily ramped on the leading edge to reduce rolling resistance. A small knob located between the center tread and side knobs provides a smooth transition while cornering. The Assegai offers predictable traction, even over slippery roots and rocks.
3C MaxxGrip compound uses the stickiest, slowest rebounding rubber offered by Maxxis to provide lots of traction on the trail
Downhill casing tires are designed for extreme use in all gravity applications, made with two layers of durable 60 TPI casing material along with a large butyl rubber insert that extends from each bead into the sidewall
Wide Trail (WT) construction optimizes the tire’s tread layout and profile on today’s modern, wider rims, optimized around a 35mm inner width

Great softer materials but not the same support as the previous season. Pockets are large enough to fit stuff but the straps don’t support well. No chance you’re getting a water bottle in there. Also the bin straps position themselves right on top of your nipples. You’re going to notice that after an hour of pedaling and sweating.
I really liked the previous version so
Much that I wore 2 pairs out with 6000 miles. These new ones will be lucky to make it into rotation.
