The Maxxis Assegai Tubeless Ready Tire 27.5" x 2.5" is a premium choice for serious mountain bikers who demand the best in traction and durability. Named after the Zulu warrior spear, the Assegai is designed to pierce through the most difficult terrain with ease. This tire is the brainchild of downhill racing legend Greg Minnaar and reflects his experience and insights into what makes a tire truly perform on aggressive trails.
The Assegai features a wide tread pattern with tall, aggressive knobs that dig deep into loose, muddy, or rocky terrain, ensuring exceptional grip and stability in corners and during braking. The arrangement of the tread is optimized to minimize rolling resistance while maximizing traction, making it a top performer for both uphill climbs and high-speed descents. The dual-compound rubber used in the tire strikes a perfect balance between grip, rebound, and durability, providing a ride that's both responsive and long-lasting.
As a tubeless-ready tire, the Assegai offers additional benefits, including the ability to run lower air pressures for better traction without the risk of pinch flats, and a reduced overall weight compared to traditional tubed tires. The tire’s sidewalls are reinforced with Maxxis's EXO protection, which significantly increases cut and abrasion resistance, making it ideal for riders tackling demanding terrain and seeking a tire that can withstand the rigors of serious trail riding. Whether you're competing in downhill races or exploring rugged mountain trails, the Maxxis Assegai 27.5" x 2.5" tire is engineered to provide superior performance and reliability.

All bicycle orders placed on BlueZoneSports.com will be shipped via Bike Flights. Bike Flights is a 3rd party transit service we use to ensure your bike is delivered safely to you. This service will allow us to add insurance to your package and may require a signature upon delivery subject to your order total. Please allow 3-4 business days for your bike order to be processed. All bikes ship from our retail locations and are first assembled and inspected by our team of expert bike technicians, then repackaged and shipped to you. You will receive a separate email with your tracking information.
Please note that there are some bike brands that we cannot ship, however, we do have a pickup in-store option available.
Final assembly on all bike purchases MUST be done by a qualified bike technician. Failure to have the bike assembled by a qualified technician AND retain a copy of your labor receipt may void the manufacturer warranty and could result in damage and/or injury if not assembled correctly. Please note that as an industry standard, some bikes might have minor cosmetic blemishes due to the nature of shipping. Please report any damaged part that affects the safety or ride-ability of your bike immediately upon receipt.
Shipping information such as address changes are adjustable up until the time of shipping. Once your package has left our fulfillment store, you will need to work with the carrier to adjust the information.
Once you have placed your order, we cannot change the shipping method. Please make sure to carefully review your order before submitting to ensure you have selected the right shipping method.
