This tyre has been the best front tyre I have ever used. The intermediate lugs definitely help on the sketchier stuff. Mine hasn’t worn down too much so far despite the soft compound. It’s a seriously good tyre for both bike park and trail riding, though it is obviously a little draggy.” The Assegai is a fantastic tire for use all year round in pretty much any condition you care to name. The only real fly in the ointment is the relatively high price, but then you are buying one of the most controlled and confidence-inspiring tires on the market.

Rim width: Maxxis state that WT tyres only work with 30-35mm rims but many World Cup DH racers run 2.5" WT rubber on 25mm rims (EX 471's) and can blast corners apart without any problems. Somehow Maxxis have managed to pull out the best traits of their most popular tires to create something entirely different, yet very familiar at the same time. My initial impressions are all positive – this is an aggressive, grippy, and incredibly predictable tire” –Mike Kazimer, PinkBike.com, April 2018 And that leaves me talking about my all-time favorite tire, the High Roller. Maxxis' engineers and I came up with a remodeled High Roller side knob with very similar characteristics to the original. But with the support the extra tooth gives you, you have the ultimate wingman when cutting hard on a flat turn. Finally, I took the height of the knobs from the Shorty. The knobs are well-supported, so the extra height aggressively bites into loam and dry, dusty conditions.” MXT00017200, MXT00064500, MXT00097400, MXT00097500, MXT00163000, MXT00163100, MXT00163200, MXT00163300, MXT00172400, MXT00195500, MXT00195600, MXT00202400, MXT00202700, MXT00202900, MXT00203100, MXT00308100, MXT00308200

Previously the unicorn (yes I named my bike) was shod in Scwhalbe Nobby Nics in EVO Trailstar Snakeskin form. Not a bad tire, but not great for what I wanted to. I’ll get that and draw comparisons [as] I go.

You might look at the tall side knobs and assume that they might fold over under heavy cornering, but this was not the case. They are sturdy enough to support the hardest of riders and have enough depth to really penetrate all but the sloppiest conditions. As you lean in, they really begin to bite and they reward an active rider who can maximise the cornering potential of such an aggressive tyre.
