Tyres: Maxxis Assegai 2.5WT Exo 3C MT 29"
The Assegai (1020g) has advance praise because Greg Minnaar designed it. I immediately liked the balanced and safe ride.
The Assegai retains grip for a long time and then drifts gently and in a controlled manner. It does this better than the Highroller II, for example, and also has more braking traction than the Minion DHF. A Schwalbe Magic Mary is only better when it gets wet.
STRENGTHS Cornering grip, control at the limit
WEAKNESSES There are better tyres for soft surfaces
Price: 74,50 €, maxxis.com
Conclusion: a very good front tyre in the dry and on hard surfaces. Well done, Greg!
