We count on the Assegai EXO+ 27. 5in Tire for our enduro, trail, and downhill needs because it provides the most braking and cornering grip in the Maxxis line. Maxxis developed this tire for the demanding nature of DH racing, and formulated this specific tire with an EXO+ tire casing that sits right in the middle of their line in terms of its ratio between weight and sidewall protection. This makes it ideal for aggressive trail and enduro riding, when durability is the focus but weight is still very much part of the equation. The tread profile of the Assegai is best described as burly—the oversized cornering knobs provide tons of cornering traction and the braking knobs dig in on the roughest trails.
