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

The new price for a replacement for my gen2 is silly. This one is better price and works, you just have to swap the bash guard and bumper at top. This is a better price and I also got a sale discount. much more reasonable. Thanks!
I'm glad I bought these guards. They do what they're made for: No more bruised or bloody ankles from smacking rocks or cranks. I do have to say, however, that the photo seems a little misleading to me. I thought these would have a smooth finish like other G-Form products, based on the photo. Instead, they are fabric, so only time will tell on durability.
