What Our Gearhead Experts Are Saying:
"Ive run the Assegai EXO+ up front for aggressive trail and enduro days, and its one of the most confidence-inspiring tires Ive used. The EXO+ casing holds up to sharp rocks without feeling dead, and the 3C MaxxTerra rolls well for daily riding. When I want ultimate braking and cornering bite for bike park laps or wet days, I switch to the 3C MaxxGripits noticeably tackier and more planted."
When the trail turns steep and blown out, we lean into the Assegai EXO+ Tubeless Ready Tire from Maxxis and let it find grip where other tires start to drift. It holds a steady line through loose-over-hardpack, wet roots, and late-braking compressions, giving us the confidence to stay off the brakes and trust the front end.
The EXO+ casing adds reinforced sidewall protection for aggressive trail and enduro riding without the weight penalty of a full downhill build. Tubeless Ready construction lets us drop pressure for better traction and fewer pinch flats, while 3C compound options fine-tune ride feel. 3C MaxxTerra balances rolling speed and traction for everyday trail performance, and 3C MaxxGrip delivers maximum cornering and braking control when conditions demand absolute stickiness.
